Question

although the success of deep - learning models on the imagenet benchmark led some commentators to declare that computer vision was essentially a solved problem, more cautious researchers refused to give full ____ to that narrative. which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase? a credence b publicity c deference d comprehension

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context. The sentence contrasts some commentators' declaration with cautious researchers' refusal. We need a word that means belief/acceptance.

• "Credence" means belief or acceptance, so "give credence to" (accept as true) fits: cautious researchers didn't fully accept the narrative.
• "Publicity" (attention) doesn't fit as the issue is belief, not attention.
• "Deference" (respectful submission) is about respect, not belief.
• "Comprehension" (understanding) is about grasping, not accepting.

Answer:

A. credence
