  • acknowledge...ignored✔️
  • decrease...verified
  • tolerate...accepted
  • address...eliminated
Correct Answer Explanation
The sentence describes how nonviolent protests force communities to confront issues they've been avoiding. The first blank needs a word meaning 'recognize' or 'address,' and the second blank needs a word meaning 'dismissed' or 'overlooked.' Acknowledge...ignored fits perfectly: the community that refused to acknowledge its injustices can no longer ignore them after the demonstrations create tension.
