Question
Given below is a word, followed by three sentences that
consist of that word. Identify the sentences(s) that best express( es) the meaning of the word. Choose option 4 ‘None of the above’ if the word is not suitable in any of the sentences. TENACITY: A: The young entrepreneur showed incredible tenacity in overcoming business failures. B: The artist's tenacity was evident in the way she gracefully danced across the stage. C: His tenacity in making excuses for every mistake was quite frustrating for his colleagues.Solution
The word "tenacity" refers to persistence, determination, or the ability to keep going despite difficulties.Sentence A correctly uses "tenacity" to describe the entrepreneur’s perseverance in overcoming failures.Sentence B is incorrect because "tenacity" is not related to dancing gracefully; a more appropriate word could be "elegance" or "grace."Sentence C is misleading. While "tenacity" can mean persistence, it is usually used in a positive sense (e.g., determination in a challenging task), whereas making excuses is generally seen as negative behavior.
