Answer 1

"The article included criticism of the mayor’s plan for expanding the highway."

Explanation: "Criticism" means expressions of disapproval, fault-finding, or evaluative analysis of something. The other sentences misuse the word (not a nutrient for bones/teeth, not a gas, and "sense of criticism" is awkward/unusual in that context).
