Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: C. was appreciated by.
The other options are incorrect because:
- A. found acceptance with is not a common idiom.
- B. was attentively listened to by is not as strong as C. was appreciated by.
- D. was applauded by is too strong. It suggests that the audience was very enthusiastic about the speech, which may not have been the case.
