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? called and city utopian and monopoly citizens and knowledge ancient and forever

The correct answer is B. Utopian and monopoly

Explanation:

The use of language to write a text including the election of words and level of formality depends on the audience, this means the writer will need to think about the age, level of education, social background and context before writing in this way the text is addressed to the audience and this will make the audience understand and be interested in the writer's ideas in the text. In the case of writing texts for general audiences, the writer needs to choose words carefully for almost all people to understand despite their age or level of education, because of this, the best is to write ideas in a simple and clear way and avoid any sophisticated or technical word some people might not understand. Because of this, in the text presented in the question the words "Utopian and monopoly" should be replaced for more common and colloquial ones as it is necessary to have some educational context to know their meaning which means not everybody will understanding and therefore it does not work for a general audience.

a, b, and c are all correct.
