The sentence is:
"With university lecture halls rivaling small-concert venues in terms of the number of those in attendance, it $\_\_\_\_$ incoming freshman-most long coddled in an intimate learning environment-to become adept at navigating the treacherous waters of anonymity."
Analysis of choices:
- (A) implicates: Means involves or implies; less suitable in this context.
- (B) is incumbent upon: Means it is a duty or responsibility of someone. Fits well as it suggests freshmen must adapt.
- (C) behooves: Means it is a duty or advantage for someone to do something. Also fits well.
- (D) removes the onus for: Means relieves the responsibility, which contradicts the context.
- (E) is unfair for: Suggests a judgment of fairness; less fitting.
- (F) benefits: Implies a positive effect, which contradicts the challenge implied.
Best fits:
$(B)$ is incumbent upon and (C) behooves
These both convey the idea that it is necessary or advisable for incoming freshmen to become adept at navigating anonymity.
