N4Particlesは (contrast)

魚は食べますが、肉___食べません。

Q. Which particle marks the contrasted item 肉?

I eat fish, but I don't eat meat.

Explanation

は marks contrast between two items: 魚は…肉は…. も would claim 'meat too' and clash with the negative contrast; を would drop the contrastive framing the sentence sets up.
