Question

complete the sentence with the word that best fits the overall meaning and tone. in 1803, the french made the ______ decision to sell the united states 827,000 square miles of land west of the mississippi river. irrevocable irrefutable

Explanation:

To determine the correct word, we analyze their meanings. "Irrevocable" means not able to be changed or reversed, which fits a decision to sell land (once made, the sale of such a large territory is not reversible). "Irrefutable" means impossible to disprove, which does not fit the context of a decision. So "irrevocable" is the better choice.

Answer:

irrevocable
