Question

Despite the efforts of the most _______________________ medical team at the institute and the copious well- wishes of his admirers, the gorilla was unable to rally from his severe case of pneumonia.

a
eminent
b
parochial
c
voracious

Answer 1

a . Eminent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "eminent" refers to an individual or person who is an expert in a certain profession. In other words, it refers to a person who is respected and honored for his/ her expertise in a particular thing.

In the given sentence, the speaker is talking or referring to an expert medical team. So, for that, we cannot use "parochial" or "voracious" to refer to the medical team. This is because "parochial" refers to a narrowminded person and "voracious" refers to a greedy, insatiable person.

So, by using "eminent" in the blank, the sentence refers to an expert "medical team at the institute".

Thus, the correct answer is option a.
