Answer 1

The word 'eminent' in the sentence is best matched with 'distinguished.'

Step-by-step explanation:

The word in italics is 'eminent.' The letter of the word or phrase that best matches 'eminent' is 'distinguished.' The word 'eminent' means well-known, respected, or important. In this sentence, the professor is recognized as being highly respected, so the word 'distinguished' accurately corresponds to 'eminent.'
