Explanation
Emily has a changing career, so she can’t guarantee a fixed paycheck. Therefore, her husband must accumulate overtime work from his supervisors. You’re looking for a word that means accumulate or ask for. Rebuke means to reprimand, so eliminate it. Eschew and relinquish
are synonyms that mean give up, which is the opposite of accumulate.
Disseminate means scatter, and does not mean accumulate. Amass and garner can both mean gather and accumulate, and produce equivalent, appropriate sentences.
Hence options B and D is correct!
