Analysis
1. Analyze the Context: The sentence describes a "nascent public works program" (a new program) that needs money to continue but is forced to "shut down" because "funds were not forthcoming." This means the program was hoping for a new supply or contribution of cash to keep going.
2. Determine the Required Meaning: The word must mean a fresh introduction or supply of liquid (or, figuratively, money) into a system.
3. Evaluate the Options:
- A. reprisal: An act of retaliation or revenge. (Incorrect)
- B. dispersal: The act of spreading things over a wide area. (Implies spending, not receiving.)
- C. liquidity: The state of having readily available cash. (Describes a state, not the hoped-for action.)
- D. infusion: The introduction of a new element or quality into something. In finance, an infusion of cash is a common term for a sudden or large influx of money needed to stabilize or start an operation. (Strong Fit)
- E. instantiation: The representation of an abstract concept by a concrete example. (Incorrect)
The phrase "fresh infusion of cash" is a standard idiomatic expression for receiving new funding.
