Vocabulary Practice
Find the word that fits best in the blank.
Let's look at the sentence carefully. It says the invention of the phonograph and the blank of radio broadcasting in the early nineteen hundreds brought Bluegrass Music to the masses.
The invention of the phonograph and the ---- of radio broadcasting in the early 1900s...
The sentence describes the beginning of a new era for music delivery. We need a word that matches the meaning of invention or the start of something.
Let's evaluate the options one by one. Option A is onset.
Vocabulary Analysis
| Option | Meaning |
|---|---|
| **A) onset** | The beginning of something (usually unpleasant or transformative) |
The word onset refers to the beginning or commencement. In this context, the start of radio broadcasting makes perfect sense.
Let's check the others to be sure. B is survival. This doesn't fit the context of a new technology starting out.
| Option | Meaning |
|---|---|
| **B) survival** | The state of continuing to live or exist |
