Question

we should offer our heartfelt support for a proposal to replace the home handicraft class with one on personal money management. this recommendation is not to diminish the value of sewing and other creative home activities. in a perfect world, these skills have a place in all our lives. in reality, they play a critical role in just a few of our lives. but it is clear that one cannot argue against the idea that learning to manage money is a skill that every single student in this building will need one day. a basic goal of our schools is to produce an educated, employable workforce. ironically, many schools fail to measure the importance of the value of teaching this future workforce how to manage the money it earns. let us reconcile this incongruous situation. the student wants to use more specific words to replace the two underlined phrases. choose one word from the first three answer choices that would best replace the first underlined phrase. then choose one word from the second three answer choices that would best replace the second underlined phrase.

indisputable

possible

straightforward

Explanation:

The phrase "clear that one cannot argue against" implies something that is beyond dispute. "Indisputable" means not open to question or debate, which fits well. "Possible" means something that can happen but doesn't convey the sense of being beyond argument. "Straightforward" means simple or easy to understand, which also doesn't match the meaning of the original phrase.

Answer:

Indisputable.
