Which term is interchangeable with an adjourned meeting?

• A. Adjourned session
• B. Continued meeting
• C. Recess
• D. Special session

Answer: (B)

The main idea is how a paused gathering is described when it will pick up again. When a meeting is adjourned with the plan to continue later, the best way to express that same situation is a continued meeting. It directly communicates that the business is not finished and the same meeting will resume, which is exactly what adjournment followed by resumption implies.

A recess, by contrast, is only a short pause within the same meeting and does not signify a formal end with plans to reconvene later. A special session is a separate meeting called for a specific purpose, not a continuation of the previous gathering. An adjourned session is not the standard term used to describe resuming a single meeting; the emphasis in practice is on continuing the same meeting.
