Respuesta :
To change the tone of the sentence from resentful to complimentary, the word that needs to be replaced is obviously.
Why should the replacement be made?
The tone of the sentence and the words used decide what meaning does the sentence conveys.
The given sentence: "You were given an exceptional IQ so obviously you made valedictorian." has a resentful tone because it uses the words like 'obviously' which implies resent.
Therefore, if we replace the word 'obviously' in the sentence given, the tone would change from resentful to complementary. The sentence would then sound like a complement.
Hence, the correct option is (c) obviously.
