[amp_mcq option1=”protest at” option2=”protest to” option3=”protest against” option4=”No improvement” correct=”option3″]
The correct answer is: C. protest against
The word “protest” means to express strong objection to something. In this sentence, the donors are objecting to the effort to extrapolate from such limited data. The preposition “against” is used to indicate the object of the protest.
The other options are incorrect because they do not make sense in the context of the sentence.
- Option A, “protest at,” is incorrect because it suggests that the donors are protesting at a specific location. However, the sentence does not indicate that the donors are protesting at any particular place.
- Option B, “protest to,” is incorrect because it suggests that the donors are protesting to a specific person or group. However, the sentence does not indicate that the donors are protesting to anyone in particular.
- Option D, “No improvement,” is incorrect because the sentence is grammatically correct and does not need to be improved.
