    Question

    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. The young leader was admired by all for her _____________character, always making decisions that reflected honesty, integrity, and a commitment to the greater good.
    A vigorous Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B vivid Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C virtuous Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D valiant Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E venture Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    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."
