Q: Answer-Each of the Following questions presents a word in bold, followed by three sentences using that word...

Both sentences I and III correctly use the word quixotic. Sentence I is correct because quixotic describes plans that are idealistic and impractical, just like Don Quixotes adventures. Sentence III is also correct as it refers to a belief that is exceedingly idealistic and perhaps unrealistically noble. Sentence II is incorrect. The word quixotic has nothing to do with physical durability or construction. It refers to a personality trait or an idea, not a physical quality of an object. The word is derived from the literary character Don Quixote, who was known for his pursuit of noble but unattainable goals.
