read the sentence from passage 2.
\i had it there now before my eyes, bearing upon it the unexceptionable testimony of its catastrophe.\ (paragraph 11)
what is the meaning of unexceptionable as it is used in the passage?
a not predicted
b not distinguished
c not able to be fixed
d not able to be denied

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "unexceptionable" in the passage, we analyze the context. The phrase "testimony of its catastrophe" implies the evidence is clear and undeniable. Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: "not predicted" doesn't relate to the idea of testimony about a catastrophe.
• Option B: "not distinguished" is irrelevant to the clarity of the testimony.
• Option C: "not able to be fixed" has nothing to do with the nature of the testimony.
• Option D: "not able to be denied" fits the context as the testimony about the catastrophe is so clear it can't be denied.

Answer:

D. not able to be denied
