Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: gesture
Explanation:
A 'gesture' is an action or sign that expresses intention, goodwill, or courtesy. In this sentence, it means an act by Pervez Musharraf that the Americans welcomed or appreciated.
Posture: refers to a body position or stance, not an act of goodwill.
Motion: denotes movement or a formal proposal; it does not convey the sense of a considered act of courtesy in this context.
Texture: relates to the surface quality of an object and is irrelevant to expressing appreciation for an action.
