Answer 1

The correct answer is C.

The prefix con- means "with" or "together." For this reason, a group of people who are converging at the gate are coming together.

We can imagine a group of people spread out in a waiting lounge who come together at the gate in order to board a plane. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
