answer explanation: 

<p>This contract may be extended from year to year if it is <u>agreeable</u> to both parties.</p><div data-answer="c">(A) noticeable<br>(B) avoidable<br>(C) agreeable<br>(D) presentable<br></div>

<p>The correct answer is (C) agreeable.</p>

<p>In this sentence, the word "agreeable" means that both parties are in agreement or satisfied with the contract. To extend the contract from year to year, it needs to be agreeable to both parties, meaning they both find it acceptable and satisfactory.</p>

<p>Option (A) "noticeable" means easily seen or observed, which does not make sense in the context of extending a contract.</p>

<p>Option (B) "avoidable" means able to be avoided or prevented, which does not fit the meaning required in this sentence.</p>

<p>Option (D) "presentable" means able to be presented or shown in a good or acceptable way, but it does not convey the necessary meaning of agreement between both parties.</p>
