Read the excerpt from john f. kennedy's inaugural address.

to that world assembly of sovereign states, the united nations, our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments of peace, we renew our pledge of support—to prevent it from becoming merely a forum for invective—to strengthen its shield of the new and the weak—and to enlarge the area in which its writ may run.

based on context, what is the most likely definition for “invective”?

praise
criticism
questions

Use context clues to answer this question. "we renew our pledge of support--to prevent it from becoming merely a forum for invective" alone can guide you towards the right choice. kennedy was renewing their support to prevent the united nations from... something. when you want to prevent a certain thing from something else, typically that "something" is bad--a bad influence, maybe, or an obstacle. if you're on a mission to stop something, it's usually because that something isn't in your best interest.

out of all the choices, which one fits that explanation the best? i would say your answer is criticism. kennedy wouldn't work to stop questions between the united nations, and he wouldn't want to stop any positive interaction (praise, thanks) because it's meant to be a cordial agreement.

The correct answer to this question should be C. Criticism

Not sure if there was any sort of picture or something to go along with this but my guess is the book went into deep depth and was very informative.
