Select the correct answer. Read the following sentence.
“The agents typically pore over the details of a contract in order to get the best deal for their client.”
Which word has a similar connotation to the phrase "pore over" as it is used in the sentence?

A. summarize
B. proofread
C. annotate
D. scrutinize

D. scrutinize

Explanation:

in this case, "pore over" means that the agents are trying to make sure that they're reading the contact carefully for their client. contracts often use a lot of formal language and are long enough that it's always smart to get a professional to help you when you have a contract. so the best choice here js "scrutinize" because the agents are looking for anything that might make them advise their client NOT to sign the contract. if all looks good however they might advise them to sign/agree to the contact instead.

hope this helps!
