The opposition's motion was rejected.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The Context: In a formal or parliamentary setting, a motion refers to a formal proposal put to a vote. When the sentence says 'The opposition's motion was rejected,' it means their formal suggestion or proposal was turned down.
Commotion: Refers to a state of confused and noisy disturbance.
Emotion: Refers to a strong feeling (e.g., joy or anger).
Movement: While a literal meaning of motion, it does not fit the context of being 'rejected' by an opposition group.
The correct option is Proposal.
