1. What does the word 'obligatory' mean in the context of the passage on Daylight Savings Time?

• A. Approved.
• B. Sparse.
• C. Requisite.
• D. Aberrant.

Correct answer: C

'Approved' (choice A) does not convey the sense of necessity as 'obligatory' does. 'Sparse' (choice B) means thinly dispersed and does not relate to the context.
