Solution

failed
failed

The answer is C: changed.

Explanation for each option: A. Continued - This word means to keep going or persist in the same state or activity. It does not convey the idea of making a significant or fundamental change, which is implied by "revolutionized."

B. Encouraged - This word means to give support, confidence, or hope to someone. While MTV may have encouraged certain trends in the music industry, "revolutionized" suggests a more profound transformation than merely providing encouragement.

C. Changed - This word means to make or become different. "Revolutionized" implies a dramatic or fundamental change, making "changed" the most appropriate synonym in this context.

D. Blamed - This word means to hold someone or something responsible for a fault or wrong. It does not relate to the concept of making a significant change, which is the essence of "revolutionized."
