Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

* Remand means to send back (a prisoner) into custody, or to postpone/defer a legal process.
Expedite means to make an action or process happen sooner or be accomplished more quickly. Thus, accelerating a process acts as an opposite to holding or delaying it (remanding/adjourning).

Filibuster means to obstruct progress in a legislative assembly by prolonged speechmaking.

Tarry means to stay longer than intended; delay leaving.

Adjourn means to break off a meeting or legal proceeding with the intention of resuming it later (synonymous in context of delay).
