Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. without any looming deadlines.
The sentence means that the person wants to finish their work by the end of the day so they don’t have to worry about urgent due dates over the weekend.
The phrase "not having any imminent due dates" can be replaced with "without any looming deadlines".
Looming deadlines means deadlines that are approaching soon and creating urgency.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
