Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I do not think the evidence you have heard ______ your opinion.

• A. promotes
• B. accuses
• C. commits
• D. warrants
• E. convinces

Answer 1

The correct option is D warrants

Evidence can significantly influence one's opinion on a matter. To warrant is to justify or necessitate (a course of action). Hence, Option D is correct. Among the rest of the options, promotes means perpetrate or carry out (a mistake, crime, or immoral act), accuses means, commits means perpetrate or carry out (a mistake, crime, or immoral act), convinces means to cause (someone) to believe firmly in the truth of something. These options do not express the intended meaning, hence incorrect.
