In each of the following sentences, there is a blank

Solution

The sentence is describing the young leader's character, which is a noun. To modify or describe the noun "character," you need an adjective that gives more detail about the type of character the leader has.

In this context, adjectives like virtuous, vigorous, vivid, valiant all describe characteristics, but only virtuous fits perfectly, as it refers to having high moral values, which matches the description of the leader's qualities in the sentence. "Venture" is a noun, meaning a risky or daring undertaking, and doesn’t fit in the context of describing character.

So, the blank requires an adjective to correctly describe "character."
