Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.
Many of the misconceptions about Queen Victoria were created by those who ------- her most; in their efforts to ------- her as a model of all virtues, they lost sight of the real woman.
A esteemed . . discredit
B idolized . . disparage
C challenged . . delineate
D admired . . depict
E censured . . represent
Correct Answer D
Here's Why:
Those who “admired” Queen Victoria most would be likely to “depict” her as a model of all virtues. The first two choices are appealing because “esteemed” and “idolized” are appropriate; however, “discredit” and “disparage” make these choices illogical.
