Question

    The given question has one blank indicating that something

    has been omitted. Choose the word for the given options that could fit in the blank correctly. The startup’s early investors were lauded for their _______ in backing an idea that initially seemed too risky to succeed.
    A hesitation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B foresight Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C indifference Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D neutrality Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E impatience Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The word "lauded" indicates praise.
    The investors backed an idea that "seemed too risky to succeed", meaning success was not obvious at the time. The fact that they are praised suggests the risky idea later succeeded. Hence, they were praised for their foresight — the ability to anticipate future success despite apparent risk.
