Which word, if added to the blank, would most clearly add bias to the sentence shown?

Question

Doctor Wise _____ our school by mentioning us in his article.
A.
recognized
B.
remembered
C.
honored
D.
acknowledged

Answer 1

The word that would most clearly add bias to the sentence is C. honored.

While all the options imply a recognition of some sort, "honored" carries a stronger connotation of valuing or respecting the school, which could suggest a favorable bias as opposed to the more neutral connotations of the other options.
