A. halt |
B. provoke |
C. engender |
D. induce |
E. fixate |
F. halt |
Among the choices, A and F are the same, so this is not right.
Considering the choices from A through E.
The sentence is about "We" trying to do something about a meeting between potential room-mates which seems impossible.
A. halt is incorrect, since no point in halting, which is already impossible,
B. provoke is incorrect, you can provoke a person, but not provoke a meeting,
E. fixate is incorrect, since fixate is usually followed by "on", you fixate on something.
that leaves C and D.
