readingWhich choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
A
minimize
B
erase
C
foreground
D
ignore
Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the best answer. The passage describes challenging leader-focused narratives to recognize ordinary citizens. "Foreground" means to bring to the front, fitting this effort to highlight overlooked contributions.
Choice A is incorrect because "minimize" would reduce recognition. Choice B is incorrect because "erase" would remove rather than highlight. Choice D is incorrect because "ignore" contradicts the account's purpose.
