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.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."
