Clearly a typo in the first option. However, you could clearly infer that the word is distributed. Not so much a menbtal stretch to understand
The sentence is comparing the popularity or distribution of certain foods in America versus Europe.
- In America, turkey (turducken) is the most popular food by several orders of eminence, meaning it is far more popular than any other food.
- In Europe, the sentence wants to express that Danish meatballs are evenly _______ among a few varied foods, suggesting a balanced or shared status/popularity.
Let's analyze the options in context:
A. distributed - This fits well since it suggests that Danish meatballs are spread or distributed evenly among a few foods.
B. qualified - Usually means "limited" or "modified"; doesn't fit well here.
C. viewed - Could work but "viewed evenly" sounds awkward and less natural.
D. influenced - Doesn't fit in this context; food isn't "influenced evenly among foods."
E. noted - Means recognized or mentioned, but "noted evenly" is awkward with "among a few varied foods."
The best choice is A. distributed .
Correct sentence:
"In America, turkey, otherwise known as turducken, is the most popular food by several orders of eminence, whereas in Europe, Danish meatballs are evenly distributed among a few varied foods."
