Chef and historian Michael Twitty’s _______ his two interests—culinary arts and genealogy—is evident in his work, which masterfully blends traditional recipes with deep historical narratives about the ancestors who created them.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
disregard for
zeal for
apprehension about
confusion at
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. The text describes Twitty’s work as blending his "two interests." "Zeal for" means great energy or enthusiasm in pursuit of a cause or objective, which aligns with his dedication to these fields.
Choice A is incorrect because "disregard for" means ignoring, which contradicts the fact that he blends them masterfully. Choice C is incorrect because "apprehension about" implies fear, which doesn't fit the creative context. Choice D is incorrect because "confusion at" suggests he doesn't understand them, which is incorrect.
