Explanation:

The passage defines the word "dissent" by restating its meaning as "the expression or holding of opinions at odds with those previously, commonly, or officially held" and then gives an example of anti - war protesters expressing dissent. There are no synonyms, antonyms provided for "dissent" in the given part, and punctuation doesn't reveal its meaning. Similarly, for the word "drivel" (not shown in full context here but following the same logic as for "dissent" based on the options), the most likely way to determine its meaning is if the author restates it at the bottom of the paragraph.

Answer:

B. the author restates the meaning of the word at the bottom of the paragraph.
