A person chosen to act for others at meetings is called which of the following?

• A. Delegate
• B. Ambassador
• C. Representative
• D. Officer

Answer: (A)

The main idea is understanding a role where someone acts on behalf of a group at a meeting. A delegate is exactly that: a person chosen to represent and speak or vote for their group during the meeting, carrying out the group’s decisions. This fits scenarios like clubs, committees, or assemblies where members appoint someone to stand in for them.

An ambassador lives in diplomacy between nations, not typical organizational meetings. A representative is a broader term for someone who stands in for others, but it doesn’t emphasize being appointed specifically to act for a group at a particular meeting. An officer holds a formal position with duties within the organization, but not necessarily the function of acting for others at meetings.

So, because the situation describes someone chosen to act for others at meetings, the term delegate fits best.
