The inclement weather resulted in school being canceled.

Respuesta :

In this case the right option is the first one, Neither of the children had the inclination to clean their rooms. The word inclination is derived as stated from the Latin clinare and it is formed by putting together in+clinare, "lean toward [in/into]". The opposite would be "decline", formed by joining de+clinare.

^ He's right, THE ANSWER IS: Neither of the children had the inclination to clean their rooms.
