Question
In the question below, a statement has three words
highlighted in bold, which may or may not be correctly used. You are required to choose from the options, the one that provides the correct combination of the 3 words which fit in the blanks grammatically and contextually. If the original set is correct, please select option E as your answer.  While Silicon Valley, was once admire  by progressives for its cultural capitalism  and praised by conservatives for its relentless innovate ,  its leaders are now under attack from all directions.Solution
Solution â The sentence aims to contrast how Silicon Valley was praised by progressives and conservatives in the past for specific reasons, but now faces criticism from various groups. The original words in bold are incorrect because 'admire' should be past tense to match the sentence, 'innovate' is a verb instead of a noun, and âcultural capitalismâ lacks contextual clarity. Option A:Â 'Derided' (mocked) is the opposite of 'admired,' 'obscurantism' (opposition to knowledge) does not fit the progressive praise, and 'rigor' (strictness) does not align with the praise of innovation. Option C: Â 'Extolled' (praised) fits the context and so does 'resourcefulness' (ability to find quick solutions) but 'tyranny' (oppressive rule) is too negative. Option D: Â Though 'progressivism' fits; 'exactness' (precision) is unrelated to innovation and âimpugned' (challenged) contradicts the earlier praise. Option B: Â 'Cherished' (valued) accurately captures the admiration, 'liberalism' (progressive views) aligns with progressive ideals, and 'ingenuity' (creativity) perfectly reflects the conservative praise for innovation. Hence, option B is correct.
