Question

gap filling

First, everyone will need to understand that they must__their comments to the topic under discussion.
A contain   B reserve  C check   D restrict

the answer given is D. who can explain why not choose Bthe following sentence is" The Chair can then encourage one person to speak at a time, so that any ideas offered can be discussed and noted."

Answer

"reserve " cannot be the answer because of the preposition "to", "reserve" requires the preposition "for" (the phrase with reserve should be "reserve their comments for the topic...")

Besides "restrict" is more appropriate in this context.  Reserve implies you are keeping something for future use, but in this phrase the comments are under discussion now, so it makes no sense the use of reserve in this context. You could use reserve in the sense of "reserve a comment for another moment" but this is not the context of that sentence.

Answer

In this context, your idea of the meaning of "reserve" is to hold back comment, but the meaning also implies future use. Restrict, on the other hand, has no implication of future use.

Answer

Look up the two words in the dictionary.
1. restrict
2. reserve
It should be obvious.

Answer

Hi! I think It's standard phrase. It is rule of communication in forums, chats - to check your comments
