四選一
Under this agreement, the supplier is ____ to provide a monthly progress report.
看答案
obligated
供應商是被要求履行義務的一方，須用 is obligated to。obligation 是名詞，此處也缺少冠詞；obligate 原形不能直接接在 is 後；obligatory 通常描述必須做的事項，不能在此以供應商作主詞接 to provide。
同義改寫
Under this agreement, we are obligated to send the client a weekly update. → This agreement requires us to send the client a weekly update.
兩句都將每週提供更新的義務限定於這份協議，主動句 requires us 與被動句 are obligated 對應。
By accepting the assignment, Leo obligated himself to prepare the meeting notes. → By accepting the assignment, Leo took on the responsibility of preparing the meeting notes.
obligated himself 在此表示主動承擔責任；改寫保留接受任務後須準備會議紀錄的意思。
