A. reach

Wrong answer, try again!

B. draw

Correct answer!

Comment:

To draw conclusions – this is by far the most natural choice.

In Polish, 'wyciągać wnioski'.

'Reach conclusions' and 'come to conclusions' both emphasise that the conclusions are the result of a process, which is not the point here.

Polish: 'dochodzić do wniosku'.

'Jump to conclusions' always means drawing conclusions in a hurry.

In Polish, 'wyciągać pochopne wnioski'.

C. come to

Wrong answer, try again!

D. jump to
