Identify the word in the passage which means ‘tending or intended to cause delay’.
Answer: A
Dilatoriness is the word that means tending or intended to cause delay. It is the noun for being slow in doing what is required, and the passage uses it of Walker's usual habit of putting off the report the governor wanted.
Vindictively means in a way meant to take revenge, which describes Mackintosh's thoughts. Sneering means showing scorn, as in the sneer Walker is expected to give. Remonstrated means protested to someone to argue against something. Only dilatoriness has the sense of delay.
