Could you please tell me which of the following options are correct in the following test and why are the others wrong?

A. adored
B. famous
C. renowned
D. well-known

Thanks

Which option do YOU think is correct? (There are only 3 because ‘adored’ obviously doesn’t work.)[YSaerTTEW443543]

TOEFL listening lectures: What does the professor imply about Leonardo da Vinci?[YSaerTTEW443543]

Hi Dear Torsten,
I think b is correct but I’m not sure, renowned and well-known have close meanings as well. In my opinion all three famous, well known and renowned are synonyms, I don’t know the exact usage.
Thanks
Fariba

I agree that all three those could be correct, Fariba, particularly B and D. It’s a poor test question.
The only reason ‘adored’ doesn’t work is becaiuse the article would be ‘an’ not ‘a’.

Hi Ms. Bees,
Thanks a lot.
