    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The correct word here is ‘stubborn’. A stubborn person is determined to do what he or she wants and refuses to do anything else. Spur- to encourage an activity or development or make it happen faster. Deleterious- harmful. Nobody encourages a harmful sheep to get back to the herd. Posited- to suggest something as a basic fact or principle from which a further idea is formed or developed.
