Question

hanson also tried to use his vocabulary while taking a break playing basketball, but he was such a/an ______ that his crossover never allowed him to get past his brother. choose bleachers podiatry bellissimo pivot calamity outdone legendary mocking amateur pulchritudinous crossover

Explanation:

The sentence is about Hanson's basketball skills (or lack thereof) where his crossover doesn't let him get past his brother. "Amateur" means a person who engages in a pursuit (like basketball) without professional skill, which fits the context of his inability to get past his brother. Other options: "Bleachers" are seats, "Podiatry" is foot care, "Bellissimo" is Italian for beautiful, "Pivot" is a basketball move but not a description of a person, "Calamity" is a disaster, "Outdone" is a verb, "Legendary" is positive (opposite of his struggle), "Mocking" is teasing, "Crossover" is the move he's using, not a description of him.

Answer:

Amateur
