Question

\in a very fundamental sense, televising the supreme court has been implicitly recognized—perhaps even sanctioned—in a 1980 decision by the supreme court of the united states entitled richmond newspapers v. virginia.\ (paragraph 2)
what is the meaning of the word sanctioned as it appears in the sentence?
a approved
b debated
c endured

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "sanctioned" in the sentence, we analyze the context. The sentence states that televising the Supreme Court was implicitly recognized or sanctioned in a 1980 decision. "Approved" fits this context as a court decision would likely recognize/approve such an action. "Debated" implies discussion without agreement, "endured" means to suffer or tolerate, neither of which fit. So "approved" (option A) is the correct meaning.

Answer:

A. approved
