Question

read the passage.
the issue had become too complicated to handle internally. no one on staff understood the disagreement between the disputing parties. as a solution, the committee called in an attaché to help with peace negotiations.
based on the context, what is the meaning of attaché?
o a military group specializing in wartime operations
o an expert in diplomatic relationships
o a lawyer who represents one side in a dispute
o an assistant to the leader of a country

Explanation:

The passage mentions that the committee called in an attaché to help with peace negotiations. An attaché is typically an expert in diplomatic relationships. The other options (a military group specializing in wartime operations, a lawyer who represents one side in a dispute, an assistant to the leader of a country) do not fit the context of helping with peace negotiations as well as an expert in diplomatic relationships.

Answer:

an expert in diplomatic relationships
