Fill in: 'We ___ a postmortem action item to a single owner, rather than a fix nobody in particular's actually responsible for.'
We 'assign an item' — the standard, simple collocation for giving a postmortem action a clear owner. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'An action item without a due date can ___ a root cause unfixed for months nobody's actually circled back on.'
We say a date-less item will 'leave' a root cause unfixed — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting stalled follow-up. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every action item to a concrete, testable outcome, rather than a vague goal nobody's actually able to confirm is done.'
We 'tie an item' — the standard, simple collocation for linking an action to a verifiable result. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every closed action item against the original incident, rather than a fix nobody's actually confirmed prevents recurrence.'
We 'verify an item' — the standard, simple collocation for confirming an action actually addressed the root cause. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ overdue action items in the weekly reliability sync, rather than a backlog nobody's actually chased down.'
We 'review items' — the standard, simple collocation for checking on postmortem follow-ups regularly. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
