Question

The departmental patriarch spent his last years at the university developing and promoting a Student Portfolio Project that required all departmental faculty to create integrated course projects and maintain a database of their students' work. New graduates could refer their prospective employers to the Student Portfolio Project database to mine examples of their work. The patriarch retired, funding and effort dried up, and the project lingered in a few syllabi and on the department's web site for a year or two but now any mention of it elicits either puzzled looks or wry grins from the remaining faculty. The patriarch's Student Portfolio Project has officially been terminated by:

A) Extinction.
B) Addition.
C) Integration.
D) Starvation.

Answer 1

D, starvation

Step-by-step explanation:

Starvation can be defined as the deprivation of a certain thing till it leads to death. More often than not, starvation has majorly been synonymous with suffering as a result of lack of food.

In the above question, as soon as the patriach died, the Student portfolio project started to starve. It lacked continuos push and effort like the patriach did.

Cheers.
