Solution

failed
failed
Answer

The answer is prescriptive.

Explanation
Option A: Empirical

"Empirical" refers to information acquired by observation or experimentation. This does not fit the context, as the sentence contrasts Tanaka's approach with that of Bell and Giovanni, focusing on their editorial style rather than the nature of the content.

Option B: Prescriptive

"Prescriptive" means imposing rules or guidelines. This choice fits well because it suggests that Bell and Giovanni had a more controlled or directive approach to selecting publications, contrasting with Tanaka's endorsement of intellectual autonomy.

Option C: Sporadic

"Sporadic" means occurring at irregular intervals. This does not logically contrast with Tanaka's approach, as it does not describe a consistent editorial style.

Option D: Informal

"Informal" suggests a casual or relaxed approach, which does not provide a clear contrast to Tanaka's humility and support for intellectual autonomy. It does not imply a structured editorial approach like "prescriptive" does.
