Answer:

B). An expression of disapproval or condemnation.

Explanation:

The 'word-choice' always play a vital role in conveying the intended meaning, message, or idea that the author wishes to convey.

In the given sentence, the best definition of the underlined word 'censure' would be 'an expression of disapproval or condemnation' as per the context of the statement. The word <u>'censure' implies 'reflecting strong and formal disapproval or a severe public criticism'</u> <u>that best fits and accomplishes the context of the sentence.</u> Therefore, the sentence would imply that 'it's in the fate of those toiling employees who are driven more by the fear of evil instead of being fascinated towards the 'prospect of good' and exposure to 'having the ability to express their strong/severe disapproval or disagreement to this toiling labor'(censure)'. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

What are your thoughts about Shakespeare or about the work that he's written?
kvasek [131]

William Shakespeare.

When we talk about English literature, there’s this renowned name which comes in everyone’s mind ‘William Shakespeare’ – the greatest writer, poet, and dramatist of all time.

Shakespeare’s style of writing was different from the rest. He used ‘Iambic Pentameter’ where lines didn’t rhymed. His works are all about love, magic, life, death, grief; I don’t think there’s any aspect of English literature where he didn’t tried his hand. He influence he had on English literature is incredible.

Some of his most well known works includes ‘Hamlet’, ‘Romeo and Juliet’, ‘The Taming of the Shrew’ the list is endless because almost all his work demands an appreciation.

Although there are people who criticize William Shakespeare for his writing style, but this will always be a known fact that despite all the criticism his works are read and praised by people even today. His works continue to motivate writers and students even in the 21st century.
