Question

Intelligent design derives from an early 19\textsuperscript{th-century explanation of the natural world given by an English clergyman, William Paley. Paley was the populariser of the famous watchmaker analogy. Proponents of intelligent design are \textit{crupping} Paley’s argument with a new gloss from molecular biology. Choose the most appropriate replacement for the italicized word.}

• A. destroying
• B. testing
• C. resurrecting
• D. questioning

Hint:

Always check the context of the sentence to match the replacement word’s meaning and tone.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The context suggests that proponents are reviving or bringing back Paley’s argument with a modern twist. “Resurrecting” fits this meaning best, replacing the nonsensical “crupping”.
