Question

while recent scholarship has undermined claims that the works of twelfth - century islamic philosopher ibn rushd were ____ other muslim philosophers of his time, it is indisputable that his location in the muslim - ruled area of what is now spain meant that his works were primarily available thousands of miles west of the eras center of islamic thought. 5 which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase? a controversial among b antagonistic toward c imitated by d inconsequential to

Explanation:

The text is about the works of Ibn Rushd and their relation to other Muslim philosophers. "Controversial among" makes the most sense as it implies a debated - about status among his peers. "Antagonistic toward" implies hostility which isn't indicated. "Imitated by" doesn't fit the context of the text's focus on his location and reception. "Inconsequential to" means unimportant, which contradicts the idea that his works were significant enough to be a topic of scholarly discussion.

Answer:

A. controversial among
