Question

in breaking new ground, The word tackled is not the appropriate to use in sentence 4. Which word should replace tackled in this sentence? "Edwards tackled Victorian gender roles throughout her life, first as a writer and old-fashioned “adventurer,” and later as a powerful advocate for professional, scientific archaeology."

Answer 1

A more appropriate word to replace "tackled" in that sentence could be "challenged." The revised sentence would read: "Edwards challenged Victorian gender roles throughout her life, first as a writer and old-fashioned 'adventurer,' and later as a powerful advocate for professional, scientific archaeology."
