With complete agreement by everyone
When everyone in a group agrees, and no one is against something.
Patrón de uso:
to vote unanimously for [something]
Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes confuse "unanimously" with "anonymously". "Unanimously" means everyone agrees, while "anonymously" means without giving a name. Another common mistake is word order: it usually comes after the main verb ("voted unanimously"), not before the subject (not *"unanimously they voted" in formal writing).
