Answer: The sentence that contains correct word usage is "The council voted to uphold the education budget as planned".
Explanation: In the sentence "The council voted to uphold the education budget as planned",<u> "council" has been used as a noun and it makes reference to a body of people who meet regularly to discuss and vote about public affairs</u>. Therefore, in this case,<u> the use of the word "council" is related to the context of this sentence (a public affair is being discussed: the education budget)</u>. On the other hand, sentences 1 and 3 include the word "counsel" when "council" should have been used instead. Furthermore, sentence 2 also shows incorrect word usage as it uses "council" instead of "counsel".
The word root "gen" means "birth," and the suffix "-ous" means "having the quality of something." Based on the word root, which word means "an official announcement"?
