Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
He was asked to accelerate the pace of work.
The correct answer is A. supervise.
To supervise means to oversee the work of others and make sure that it is done correctly. In this case, the person was asked to speed up the pace of work, so the supervisor would need to make sure that everyone is working quickly and efficiently.
The other options are incorrect because they do not mean to speed up the pace of work.
B. slacken means to slow down or relax.
C. control means to have power over something or someone.
D. check means to examine something carefully.
