Despite his initial hesitation, Rehman’s _________ to contribute to the success of the project never wavered.
Select the most appropriate option to complete the above sentence.
Answer
(C)
Explanation
The sentence contrasts Rehman’s early hesitation with something that “never wavered”. The blank therefore needs a noun meaning firm determination, one that can be followed by “to contribute”.
- resolve (as a noun) means exactly that: his resolve to contribute never wavered.
- ambivalence means mixed feelings, the opposite of something unwavering.
- satisfaction is contentment, not a commitment, and does not take “to contribute”.
- revolve is a verb meaning to turn around, so it cannot follow “Rehman’s”.
