Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is: B. Criticize more.

Explanation:

To nit-pick is to unnecessarily criticize unimportant details that do not change the intended meaning of the original sentence.

For example, if someone is talking about an event that took place "in the 90's" and someone barges in to correct the first person and tell them that "in reality, it took place in 1992", that is nit-picking.

Answer 2

Answer:

B.Criticize more

Explanation:

Nitpicker means someone who is concerned with small details and criticizes any small fault, a fault finder. In the context of the sentence it would be criticize more.

Also, not to criticize more here, but the U.S population was 308.7 million as of the 2010 census.
