Answer 1

The word 'calls' in 'calls for independence' is used to describe demands or appeals for specific actions. Option C uses 'calls' in a similar context, as it describes a group's demands for city leaders to consider ideas.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word 'calls' in the phrase 'calls for independence' refers to demands or appeals for a specific action or change. In this context, the correct answer that uses 'calls' in the same way as the provided sentence is C. The group issued calls to send ideas for city leaders to consider. Like the 'calls for independence,' this choice represents a public demand or plea for action.

The other options, such as nonstop calls to the editor, refer to telephone calls (option A), decisions made by referees are merely “calls” within the context of a sports game (option B), and good calls in option D refers to good decisions, not demands or appeals.
