final check
first read the following paragraph carefully. then fill in each blank with a word from the word list. context clues will help you figure out which word goes in which blank. use each word only once.
do you know what will ____ your success more than anything else? giving up on yourself! the only way to achieve and even ____ your goals is to keep going.
don’t be ok with being just ____ for the rest of your life. __ your daily activities with habits that will help you reach your goals! if you don’t start now, you’re choosing to ____ yourself.

Explanation:

1. "Inhibit" means to prevent or slow down the progress of something, so "inhibit" fits the first blank as giving up on oneself will prevent success.
2. "Surpass" means to go beyond or exceed, which is appropriate for achieving and going beyond goals, so it goes in the second blank.
3. "Moderate" means average or not extreme. One should not be content with just an average life, so it fills the third blank.
4. "Supplement" means to add to or enhance. Adding habits to daily - activities to reach goals makes sense, so it is for the fourth blank.
5. "Undermine" means to weaken or sabotage. Not starting now is choosing to weaken oneself, so it goes in the fifth blank.

1. inhibit
2. surpass
