However, the battle halted Lee's plans to invade the North for the time being
Which of the following words, if it replaced the
word "halted" in the sentence above, would
CHANGE the meaning of the sentence?
A
stopped
B
impeded
C
blocked
D
propelled
Propel means to push forward. So the meaning of the sentence would change as it would become "however, the battle (pushed forward) Lee's plans to invade the North for the time being." This completely changes the meaning of the sentence as halt means to stop and propel means to go.
