A dozen US states failed to pass mandated labeling for products that contain GMOs. Some European countries already mandate GMO labeling, but efforts to pass legislation in the United States have met resistance.

What adjective could the writer insert after “met” to emphasize the type of “resistance”?
  1. met resistance.
  2. met some resistance.
  3. met vital resistance.
  4. met fierce resistance.
Explanation
Answer: D - The best choice is “met fierce resistance.”

The passage indicates that over a dozen states failed to pass legislation, which indicates strong resistance to proposed GMO bills. “Fierce” is an adjective with a similar meaning to “strong.” Therefore, it can emphasize the type of “resistance” to the legislation.
