Question

1. part b: which phrase best supports the meaning of skepticism from part a (question #3)? \theory\ \met with\ \by her peers\ \was met with _ by her peers\

Explanation:

Skepticism implies doubt. The phrase "was met with _ by her peers" suggests that something (a claim, theory etc.) faced doubt from her peers, which best aligns with the meaning of skepticism. The other phrases alone do not convey the sense of doubt as strongly.

Answer:

"was met with _ by her peers"
