Question

read the sentence.
rome has been called the eternal city for centuries because ancient citizens felt it was a utopian place with a monopoly of knowledge that would last forever.
which words should be changed to make the sentence more appropriate for a general audience?
○ called and city
○ utopian and monopoly
○ citizens and knowledge
○ ancient and forever

Explanation:

"Utopian" (a complex term) and "monopoly" (a term that might be less familiar to a general audience) can be replaced with simpler words. "Utopian" implies an idealized place which can be rephrased, and "monopoly" of knowledge is a bit technical. The other word - pairs ("called" and "city", "citizens" and "knowledge", "ancient" and "forever") are more commonly understood in general language.

Answer:

utopian and monopoly
