The principal turned down his request for leave.
Correct answer: B. Rejected
- A. Accepted
- B. Rejected
- C. Postponed
- D. Forwarded
Explanation
The correct answer is 'Rejected', as it directly reflects the meaning of 'turned down' in the context of the sentence. The principal denying the request corresponds to rejecting it. The other options are incorrect because 'Accepted' implies agreement, 'Postponed' suggests a delay rather than denial, and 'Forwarded' indicates passing the request along, which also does not align with the action of denying the request.
