Question

question 31 what is the meaning of \subverted\ as it is used in paragraph 13? a. reinforced b. revoked c. undermined d. unprofitable

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "subverted", we analyze the options:

• Option A: "reinforced" means to strengthen, which is the opposite of "subverted". Eliminate A.
• Option B: "revoked" means to cancel or take back, which doesn't match the typical meaning of "subverted". Eliminate B.
• Option C: "undermined" means to weaken or sabotage, which is consistent with the definition of "subverted" (to overthrow or undermine from within).
• Option D: "unprofitable" relates to financial loss, not the meaning of "subverted". Eliminate D.

Answer:

C. undermined
