    sentence are given four words among which one word might fill the blank. If none of the words fill the blank to form a meaningful sentence, choose option 5 ‘None of the above’ as your answer. Despite the team's initial setbacks, their ___________ effort and determination ultimately led them to victory in the championship match.
    A Frivolous Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Relentless Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Perfunctory Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Sporadic Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Relentless refers to a strong and determined effort that does not give up, which fits well with the context of overcoming setbacks to achieve victory. The other options do not suit the sentence:
    Frivolous means lacking seriousness.
    Perfunctory means done with minimal effort.
    Sporadic means occurring at irregular intervals, not continuous.Thus, Relentless is the most appropriate choice.
