During a meeting, what does a motion to 'adjourn' signify?

A motion to 'adjourn' signifies the formal end of the current meeting. When members agree to adjourn, they are indicating that all scheduled business has been completed, or that they wish to stop discussions for any number of reasons. It effectively concludes all deliberations and discussions, marking the meeting's end.

In many cases, the motion to adjourn is used when there is no further agenda to talk about or when members feel that they have reached a natural stopping point. Once a meeting is adjourned, members typically cannot continue with any formal discussions or decisions until the next scheduled meeting.

This is different from other motions such as continuing discussions, which implies ongoing deliberation, or setting aside a motion, which refers to pausing consideration of a specific item on the agenda. Revisiting a past decision relates to reconsidering a previous vote or outcome, which does not align with the purpose of adjourning a meeting. Hence, the selection of the option indicating the end of the meeting is correct and reflects the procedural understanding of parliamentary governance in meetings.
