Question: 184
4. Fats and carbohydrates, which were ------ by different diet fads in the 1990s and 2000s, are now recommended as part of a healthy eating regimen as long as they are consumed in moderate amounts.
- A. denounced
- B. extended
- C. influenced
- D. irritated
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
The answer is A
The contrast with now recommended requires denounced (criticized) as the answer.
Even if you do not know the word denounced, you can eliminate choices (B), (C), and (D), because the correct answer must be the opposite of now recommended. The Latin word nunci means to state and gives us the words announce and pronounce. The prefix de means again. So, to denounce is to state against something.
