Question

Rome has been called the Eternal City for centuries because ancient citizens felt it was a utopian place with a monopoly of knowledge that would last forever.

Which words should be changed to make the sentence more appropriate for a general audience?

Answer 1

The word "utopian" must be changed to the word "perfect." Also, the word "monopolio" must be changed to the expression "full control."

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for a text to be appropriate and understood by the general public, the author of the text must use common and popular words and expressions, which can be easily understood by anyone, regardless of education level, age, profession and region. In the case of the text shown in the question above, the words "utopian" and "monopoly" may be unfamiliar to some people and therefore should be changed to make the text more effective and understandable by the general population.
