Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2, i.e. relates.

Context: The sentence explains what the first part of an interview includes. It connects or refers to preliminaries like greetings and introductions.

Meaning of the words:


Repeats – to say or do something again
Relates – to be connected or linked to something
Reminds – to cause someone to remember
Reveals – to make something known

Correct word: Relates means “is connected to,” which fits well because the first part of the interview is connected to preliminaries like greetings and introductions.

Reason: The sentence talks about how the first part is about or linked to early formalities. “Relates” is the correct verb that shows this connection.

Final Sentence: The first part relates to preliminaries, such as greetings, introductions and opening remarks of a general nature.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
