Which phrase expresses the action of attending lectures and seminars?

• A. To attend = Go to lectures and seminars
• B. Exercise; to take part in
• C. Tutorial
• D. To do a practical training period/ an internship

Answer: (A)

The action being described is being present at scheduled classes. In academic English, the verb to attend means to go to and be present at events like lectures and seminars. So, the phrase to attend perfectly matches the idea of being at those sessions, as in “to attend lectures and seminars.” It’s the standard way to express that you are present for class time.

Other options don’t fit as neatly. “To take part in” suggests involvement in an activity, but it’s broader and not specifically about being present at lectures. “Tutorial” refers to a particular type of small-group teaching, not the action of attending lectures and seminars. “To do a practical training period” or an internship describes work-based learning, not attending academic sessions.
