Question

1. which sentence uses the word obstinate correctly? the teacher encouraged obstinate behavior by rewarding flexibility in her students. the dog was excellent at learning new tricks quickly and with obstinate. he sired to obstinately collaborate and work as a team. despite all the advice from her friends, she remained obstinate in her decision not to attend the party.

Explanation:

The word "obstinate" means stubbornly refusing to change one's opinion or chosen course of action. In the first option, rewarding flexibility contradicts encouraging obstinate behavior. In the second option, "with obstinate" is an incorrect usage as "obstinate" is an adjective and not a noun that can follow "with". In the third option, "obstinately collaborate" is a contradiction since being obstinate is the opposite of being collaborative. In the fourth option, "she remained obstinate in her decision" correctly uses "obstinate" to describe her stubborn - ness in sticking to her decision not to attend the party.

Answer:

Despite all the advice from her friends, she remained obstinate in her decision not to attend the party.
