Answers
Answer:
B.) Since the leader consolidated all the power for his own use, the country is now essentially an autocracy.
Explanation:
The word 'autocracy' meaning 'self-rule' and 'democracy' means 'people's rule'. As per the question, the sentence that most correctly illustrates the meaning of underlined word is option B as it clearly exemplifies the power in one hand, i.e. the leader who consolidated(combined) all the power. The first option implies the wrong combination of 'sole decision-maker'(autocrat) with 'democratic leader'(elected by people). The option C and D too exemplifies the contradictory claims as compared to the meaning of these words. Thus, option B is the most appropriate one.
Answer:
Since the leader consolidated all the power for his own use, the country is now essentially an autocracy.
