1 renowned: "Renowned" is the right answer here. To be "known for" something is to be "renowned" or "famous" for something one does. Example: "Philip is known for his love of flirting".
1 infamous: This is not the best choice. To be "infamous for" something is to have a bad reputation because of it. This does not share a similar meaning with the term "known".
1 praised: This is not the best choice. To be "praised" for something is to be "congratulated" for it. This does not share a similar meaning with the term "known".
1 controversial: This is not the best choice. To be "controversial" is to be "unusual", or the subject of much debate. This does not share a similar meaning with the term "known".
2 green: "Green" is the best answer here. The term "eco-friendly" is short for "environmentally-friendly", and describes someone or something which is "good for the environment". The term "green" shares a similar meaning. Example: "I dream of living in an eco-friendly house, where everything runs on green energy".
2 open-minded: This is not the right choice here. To be "open-minded" is to be "accepting" or unafraid of new ideas. This does not share a similar meaning with "eco-friendly".
2 amicable: This is not the right choice here. "Amicable" shares a similar meaning with "friendly", but you forgot about the important "eco(logically)" part! "Amicable" does not share a similar meaning with "eco-friendly".
2 money-saving: This is not the right choice here. A "money-saving" action will preserve cash, but it does not share a similar meaning with "eco-friendly", which refers to saving the environment.
