Although the revisionist economist initially intended to present an unassailable critique of early industrial monetary policy, her final monograph served to ________ her original thesis, introducing nuanced caveats that softened her once-uncompromising stance.
Which of the following words, if inserted into the blank, would appropriately complete the sentence based on their secondary or specialized meanings? Select all that apply.
- qualifyCevap
- temperCevap
- Cratify
- Dvindicate
- Esanction
Cevap
The words 'qualify' and 'temper' are both correct as they utilize secondary definitions meaning to moderate or limit a statement.
The sentence describes an author who introduced nuanced caveats that softened her once-uncompromising stance. Therefore, the blank requires words that mean to moderate, limit, or make a statement less absolute. Both 'qualify' (in its secondary sense of adding limitations or conditions to a statement) and 'temper' (in its secondary sense of softening or moderating) fit the context appropriately.
