Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The correct choice to improve the sentence is the first option.

Explanation: "Invective" is a noun that refers to harsh and abusive language. Given the context, it fits appropriately as it describes a strong and negative argument. The original word "argument" doesn't convey the same level of intensity and opposition.

Praise

  • This option is incorrect because "praise" has a positive connotation, and it doesn't make sense in the context of the sentence.

Controversy

  • This option is also incorrect because "controversy" refers to a state of disagreement or dispute.
