______ this model: tribal citizens worked alongside scientists to design the methodology and continue to assist in data

circumvents

fabricates
exempliﬁes
Choice D is the best answer because it most logically completes the text’s discussion of the collaboration between the Crow
Tribe and Montana State University. As used in this context, “exempliﬁes” means demonstrates. The text conveys how the
Crow Tribe–Montana State University collaboration serves to illustrate the model of community-based participatory research
introduced earlier in the text and expanded on later in the text. 
Choice A is incorrect because referring to “circumvents,” or avoids, wouldn’t make sense in context. The text suggests that
the Crow Tribe–Montana State University collaboration serves as an example of the principles of community-based
participatory research, not that the collaboration evades this model. Choice B is incorrect because referring to “eclipses,” or
overshadows, wouldn’t make sense in context. The text describes the Crow Tribe–Montana State University collaboration as
an equal partnership, which indicates that it’s an example of the community-based participatory research model, not that it
overshadows the model. Choice C is incorrect because saying that the collaboration “fabricates,” or creates, the model
wouldn’t make sense in context. The text indicates that the Crow Tribe–Montana State University collaboration serves as an
example of the model, not that it created the model.
