In sentence 8 (reproduced below), which version of the underlined text best maintains the tone of the passage?For many, museums are not good places; they are painful reminders of theft and exploitation.

The sentence has a serious, reflective tone because it describes museums as reminders of theft and exploitation. “Educational sites” is neutral and fits that tone while describing what museums can be. “Great spots” and “cool venues” sound casual and upbeat, while “reputable locales” is overly formal and does not fit the sentence as naturally.
