1 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the recurring meeting time every few weeks across timezones, so the same one region isn't always the one waking up at an unreasonable hour.'
We 'rotate a meeting time' — the standard, simple collocation for sharing the inconvenience of timezone gaps fairly. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Always defaulting to the head office's working hours for every call can ___ a distributed team's other regions feeling like an afterthought rather than genuine peers.'
We say a fixed default time will 'leave' other regions feeling secondary — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting imbalance. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a shared calendar with every region's actual working hours marked, rather than assuming everyone silently knows who's awake when.'
We 'keep a calendar' — the standard, simple collocation for maintaining visible availability information across a team. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ detailed notes for anyone the meeting time genuinely excluded, so missing a call by accident of geography never means missing the decision too.'
We 'share notes' — the standard, simple collocation for distributing meeting outcomes to absent colleagues. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a recording of the call for anyone whose local time made attending impossible, so the actual discussion, not just a summary, stays available.'
We 'post a recording' — the standard, simple collocation for making meeting content available asynchronously. The other options are less idiomatic here.
