Solution
The correct option is A Agree
Option B: 'Agree' means 'to give consent to'.Option A: 'Accept' also means 'to agree or consent to'.But, 'accept' won't be followed by 'to speak', or any infinitive. This is because 'accept' is to receive something, whereas 'agree' is more of an action word that gives consent to do something. Hence option B is correct and A is incorrect.Option C: 'Comply' means 'to agree with something'. The word 'comply' will mostly be followed by the preposition 'with', and not 'to'.Option D: Similarly, 'concur', which means 'to agree with', will usually be followed by 'with' or 'in', and not 'to'. Hence options C and D are wrong.
