Read this excerpt from "President Kennedy's Speech at Rice University."

It is for these reasons that I regard the decision last year to shift our efforts in space from low to high gear as among the most important decisions that will be made during my incumbency in the office of the Presidency.

What does incumbency mean as it is used in this excerpt?


dominance

short visitation

experiment

time of service

In this excerpt, incumbency means "time of service."The correct option is D.

Six weeks after Yuri Gagarin of the Soviet Union became the first person to enter space, Kennedy initially stated this lofty objective in May 1961. According to analysts, the Rice address was a turning point in the history of the Apollo program and space exploration more broadly. Naturally, Kennedy's dream became a reality.

President Kennedy is referring to his own tenure as President of the United States and stating that the decision to prioritize space exploration and shift efforts into high gear will be among the most important decisions made during his time in office. The term "incumbency" is often used to refer to the period of time during which a person holds a particular political office, in this case, the presidency.

Thus, the ideal selection is option D.

But if any should think that this town alone is to groan under the weight of arbitrary [unfair] power, we are now furnished [provided] by our enemies with a still more glaring [obvious] evidence of a fixed plan of the British administration to bring the whole continent into the most humiliating bondage.
