Question

lucy vowed to block the proposal at the upcoming town meeting, as many families she spoke with did not support it. which definition matches the word \block\ in this sentence? a large quantity of things regarded as a unit to stop from happening a toy that young children play with to keep from sight

Explanation:

First, we analyze the context of the sentence "Lucy vowed to block the proposal at the upcoming town meeting...". The word "block" here means to stop the proposal from happening. Now we check the definitions:

• "A large quantity of things regarded as a unit" does not fit as it's about quantity, not stopping.
• "A toy that young children play with" is irrelevant.
• "To keep from sight" is about hiding, not stopping.
• "To stop from happening" matches the context of blocking the proposal (stopping it from being approved or moving forward).

Answer:

To stop from happening
