Question

A) NO CHANGE B) criticize and condemn C) criticize and also condemn D) criticize and complain about

Short answer

The correct choice is A) NO CHANGE, as options C and D are redundant or change the meaning. Options A and B have the same phrase "criticize and condemn," indicating the original version is the best choice.

Step-by-step solution

Read the given sentence and identify the underlined portion

Read the whole sentence to understand the context and meaning. In this case, we do not have access to the sentence. However, we can infer that the underlined portion is "criticize and condemn."

Analyze the options

Analyze each of the given options to determine if they improve the sentence or if the original version is the best choice: A) NO CHANGE B) criticize and condemn C) criticize and also condemn D) criticize and complain about

Eliminate any options that are grammatically incorrect or stylistically awkward

Option C ("criticize and also condemn") is redundant because the word "also" adds no additional meaning. Option D ("criticize and complain about") changes the meaning slightly, as "complain about" has a slightly different connotation than "condemn." Thus, we can eliminate options C and D.

Evaluate the remaining options and choose the best one

We are left with options A and B. Since option A ("NO CHANGE") maintains the original phrase "criticize and condemn" and option B is the same, we can conclude that the best choice is the original version.

Final Answer

The correct choice is: A) NO CHANGE
