Examples

  • "Why don't we reconvene in my office?"
Exercise 1
"Why don't we reconvene in my office?"

To "reconvene" a meeting is to:
"Why don't we reconvene in my office?"

To "reconvene" a meeting is to:
This is incorrect. Donna does not want to "cancel" or "annul" this meeting. She actually wants to restart the meeting immediately in a different location (her office).
This is incorrect. Donna is not suggesting that the group change the subject, but rather she wants to restart the meeting in different place (her office).
This is the correct answer. To "reconvene (a meeting)" originates from the verb "convene" which means to come together for a meeting. Therefore to "reconvene" means to come together for the meeting again (at a later time, or in a different place for example). In the conversation, Donna says "I think we need to continue this meeting in a neutral space where energy isn't quite as hostile." She means that she wants to hold this meeting in a place (her office) which is neutral, because she feels that Bruno's office is not a neutral environment.
Donna is not suggesting that this meeting be "rescheduled", or that she plans or programs another time and date for the meeting. Donna is actually suggesting that the meeting be held in her office rather than in Bruno's.
