Read the sentence and answer the following question: the scientist said that the findings of the study were not conclusive. which word should be replaced with something more precise? a. said b. findings c. study d. conclusive

A. Said

Explanation:

Although the word "said" is not necessarily wrong, it is imprecise and informal. Therefore, it does not seem to be the best word to use in this sentence. A more formal and clear word is needed, such as "communicated," "reported" or "stated." On the other hand, the words "findings," "study," and "conclusive" are both clear and formal.
