Question

The Article states:

It's always the adults who are telling kids, "Try new foods. You never know if you might like them!" And yet, when a baked, salted mealworm was offered during the tour, Koelling didn't try it—while his 5-year-old grandson, Andrew, did. What was the verdict? "[It] tastes kind of crunchy and kind of yummy," Andrew announced.


Which would be the closest synonym for the word verdict, as it is used above?

ASolution
BConclusion
CRecommendation
DExpectation

Answer 1

The closest synonym for Verdict as written above would be B: Conclusion

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to place all of the words in place of verdict conclusion would make the most sense

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Andrew had tried the meal worm. When asked, he had a right to offer his opinion. That it why it is called a verdict. A verdict is a legal term that is used to decide the results in a court case. The verdict either comes from a jury or a judge. (In this case a judge -- Andrew).

He's not recommending that his grandfather try the the meal worm. He is merely offering his grandfather an opinion.

The answer is B.
