Difficulty: EasySupport and Cause-Effect Clues

Complete the sentence by filling in the blank with a word that accurately reflects the cause-and-effect relationship established by the clue.

Answer:Given that the newly discovered historical manuscript was authenticated by several independent experts, the museum curators regarded its historical value as 【unquestionable】.

Answer

unquestionable (or synonyms such as indisputable, certain, or undeniable)
The cause-and-effect transition 'Given that' signals that the expert authentication directly supports the curators' evaluation. Therefore, a word meaning certain, indisputable, or unquestionable logically completes the sentence.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the structural cause-effect signal in the sentence.
The opening phrase 'Given that' establishes a causal premise: the manuscript was authenticated by independent experts.
Causal signal words indicate that the statement following the comma must logically result from or be supported by the preceding premise.
2
Determine the necessary meaning for the blank.
Since expert authentication confirms authenticity, the curators would view the manuscript's value as certain and beyond doubt.
Positive support clues require a completion that aligns in polarity and logical direction with the evidence provided.
