Which verb best means 'to meet again' in formal contexts?

• A. Reconvened
• B. Disbanded
• C. Left
• D. Cancelled

Answer: (A)

When a group resumes a formal meeting after a pause, the right verb to describe that action is reconvened. Reconvene means to come together again for a meeting or session, and the past tense reconvened shows that this resumption has already happened. This precisely captures the idea of “to meet again” in a formal context, such as a committee reconvening after a lunch break or a council reconvening to continue deliberations.

Disbanded means the group has broken up and ended, not resumed. Left simply means to depart, which isn’t about continuing a meeting. Cancelled means the meeting was called off, not resumed.
