Fill in the blank: her _______ pursuit of justice spanned two decades

Question

Her _______ pursuit of justice spanned two decades, surviving numerous legal setbacks, funding shortfalls, and personal sacrifices. A). tepid B). tenacious C). sporadic D). impetuous

Edvaya · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is tenacious. Tenacious means holding firmly to something — a position, belief, or course of action — with great determination and persistence, even under adversity. Why "tenacious" fits: A two-decade pursuit that survived setbacks is the very definition of tenacity — firm, persistent, and unyielding. Why the other options are wrong: • Tepid — showing little enthusiasm or conviction; the opposite of tenacious. • Sporadic — occurring at irregular intervals; implies inconsistency, not sustained effort. • Impetuous — acting quickly without thought; implies recklessness, not resolve. Example in use: "The tenacious defence lawyer refused to accept the verdict and filed a series of successful appeals." Synonyms: Persistent, determined, resolute, dogged, unwavering.
