The professor's approach to teaching complex philosophical concepts was praised for being _______ even to students with no prior background in the subject. She broke down difficult ideas into manageable steps.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
confusing
accessible
intimidating
exclusive
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. The passage describes teaching that works for students with "no prior background" by breaking down ideas. "Accessible" means easy to understand or approach, matching this inclusive pedagogy.
Choice A is incorrect because "confusing" contradicts praised approach. Choice C is incorrect because "intimidating" contradicts working for beginners. Choice D is incorrect because "exclusive" suggests limiting access.
