In each of the following sentences, there is a blank space. Below each such sentence, there are five options with one word each. Fill up the blank with the word that makes the sentence grammati cally and contextually correct.
Despite facing numerous challenges, Sarah remained___________, showing no signs of distress or frustration throughout the entire ordeal.

In this sentence, the blank is modifying Sarah, and it describes her emotional state or behavior in the face of challenges. Therefore, the blank requires an adjective (like "stoic") to describe Sarah's demeanor. Statured refers to someone's physical stature or height, which doesn't fit the context. Stewed means to be in a state of simmering frustration or anxiety, which contradicts the meaning in the sentence. Sumptuous refers to something luxurious or extravagant, which doesn't apply to someone's emotional state. Stealthy means sneaky or secretive, which is irrelevant in this context.Therefore, " stoic " is the correct choice.
