1. part b

which senten

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "irrevocably", we analyze the context and the word's structure. "Irrevocably" comes from "revoke" (to withdraw/take back) with the prefix "ir-" (meaning not) and the suffix "-ly" (adverbial). So it means something that can't be withdrawn. The option "unable to be withdrawn or taken back" matches this. Other options: "to withdraw..." is a verb form, not an adverb meaning; "to refuse..." is incorrect; "capable of being..." is the opposite of the meaning of "ir-".

Answer:

B. unable to be withdrawn or taken back (assuming the second option is labeled B; if the original options had labels like A, B, C, D, we use the correct label with text. From the options, the second one is "unable to be withdrawn or taken back", so the answer is the option with that text, e.g., if it's the second option (let's say labeled as B), then B. unable to be withdrawn or taken back)
