Question

The writer is considering changing the underlined word in sentence 12 (reproduced below) to “skeptical.” Some business and labor union leaders are dismissive of this new social safety net, suggesting that it discourages people from working, but tech industry leaders argue persuasively that BI can provide workers with needed resources and flexibility to take jobs in the freelance or “gig” economy. Should the writer make this change to sentence 12 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Yes, because the tone of the underlined word suggests that the writer is hostile toward the business and labor union leaders’ attitudes.
