Question

question 10 of 10
after the e. coli outbreak, many felt that it was a(n) good time to campaign for stricter food safety guidelines for fast food restaurants.
which word best replaces the underlined word to improve the overall writing quality of the sentence without changing the overall meaning?
a. awkward
b. opportune
c. momentary
d. bad

Explanation:

"Opportune" means well - timed or suitable, which is a more precise and elevated word than "good" in this context. "Awkward" (uncomfortable, clumsy) and "bad" (negative) change the meaning. "Momentary" (lasting a very short time) also doesn't fit as well as "opportune" which implies a good time for the action (campaigning for guidelines).

Answer:

B. opportune
