Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct answer: Altered. It means "changed" or "modified" and fits the sentence: "humans have altered their mode of communication."
Meaning and grammar: "Altered" accurately conveys the idea of change and functions correctly as the past participle after "have" (have altered).
Why other options are less suitable: "Evolved" suggests gradual natural development and changes the nuance; "Destroyed" means ruined or eliminated, which is the opposite of the intended meaning; "Pledged" means promised and is unrelated.
