Solution The sentence aims to contrast how Silicon Valley was praised by progressives and conservatives in the past for specific reasons, but now faces criticism from various groups. The original words in bold are incorrect because 'admire' should be past tense to match the sentence, 'innovate' is a verb instead of a noun, and ‘cultural capitalism’ lacks contextual clarity. Option A: 'Derided' (mocked) is the opposite of 'admired,' 'obscurantism' (opposition to knowledge) does not fit the progressive praise, and 'rigor' (strictness) does not align with the praise of innovation. Option C: 'Extolled' (praised) fits the context and so does 'resourcefulness' (ability to find quick solutions) but 'tyranny' (oppressive rule) is too negative. Option D: Though 'progressivism' fits; 'exactness' (precision) is unrelated to innovation and ‘impugned' (challenged) contradicts the earlier praise. Option B: 'Cherished' (valued) accurately captures the admiration, 'liberalism' (progressive views) aligns with progressive ideals, and 'ingenuity' (creativity) perfectly reflects the conservative praise for innovation. Hence, option B is correct.
