Which term means the orders of the day, listing of things to be done?

• A. Alliteration
• B. Agenda
• C. Acronym
• D. Adjourn

Answer: (B)

An agenda is a plan that lists the items to be discussed or acted upon in a meeting, along with the order and approximate time for each item. This helps participants prepare, keeps the meeting on track, and ensures important topics are covered. The phrase “orders of the day” aligns with an agenda, signaling what will be addressed. By contrast, alliteration is a sound device where initial consonants repeat; an acronym is a word formed from the initial letters of a phrase; adjourn means to end a meeting or suspend proceedings. These terms don’t convey the scheduled list of tasks or topics the meeting intends to address like an agenda does.
