Question: 191

11. When the dictator launched a brutal crackdown on democracy demonstrations, his actions were ------ by human rights supporters.

  • A. applauded
  • B. decried
  • C. endorsed
  • D. tolerated

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

The answer is B

The contrast between brutal dictator and human rights supporters requires decried (criticized) as the answer.

Even if you do not know the word decried, you can eliminate choices (A), (C), and (D), because the correct answer must reflect what human rights supporters would say about a brutal dictator.
