Help an exhausted college student finish their literature review at 2 AM. Select ALL the phrases that naturally complete the academic statement below.
"In the scientific community, it is _____ that climate change is accelerated by human activity."
The correct answers are widely accepted, widely believed, and widely recognized.
Widely means "by a lot of people" or "in a lot of places," making it perfect for academic consensus (accepted, believed, recognized).
"Convinced" applies to people having a firm belief, but we don't say "it is widely convinced" (we say "many scientists are firmly convinced"). "Undeniable" is an absolute adjective that doesn't pair with "widely"; we would say it is absolutely undeniable.
