The proponents of recombinant DNA research
have decided to ----------- federal regulation of their
work; they hope that by making this compromise they can forestall proposed state and local
controls that might be even stiffer.
Hello, please would you agree that we can use block of 4 to solve this?
Local controls impeded
Federal controls ----------
I will guess a positive word like ‘accept’
For the answer choices
(A) protest (B) institute (C) deny
(D) encourage (E) disregard
I eliminate A, C and E because it contradicts the connotation of the blank.
Now it’s between answer choice B and D,
I will eliminate B because no evidence that they have the power to institute the regulation.
