Question

choose the word or words that, when inserted in the sentence to replace the blank or blanks, best fits the meaning of the sentence. the dedication and ______ exhibited by the athlete as she came back from a serious injury was an inspiration to her teammates. independence determination insubordination elation perfection

Explanation:

The context is about an athlete's qualities during recovery from a serious injury. "Determination" is a positive - trait that goes well with "dedication" and makes sense in the context of inspiring teammates. Independence doesn't directly relate to the recovery - inspiration context. Insubordination is negative. Elation is more about a state of joy rather than a quality during recovery. Perfection is not a typical quality emphasized in this context of coming back from injury.

Answer:

B. determination
