Manish neglected to remit the fees in time and therefore had to pay a fine.

refused
failed
promised
obstructed

The correct answer is B. failed.

To neglect something means to fail to do it or pay attention to it. In this case, Manish failed to remit the fees in time, which means he did not pay them on time. As a result, he had to pay a fine.

The other options are incorrect because they

do not accurately describe what Manish did.

  • A. refused: Manish did not refuse to pay the fees. He simply failed to pay them on time.
  • C. promised: Manish did not promise to pay the fees. He simply failed to pay them on time.
  • D. obstructed: Manish did not obstruct the payment of the fees. He simply failed to pay them on time.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
