Question

Despite his repeated failures, he remained __________ and continued working towards his goals.

• A. arrogant
• B. indifferent
• C. persistent
• D. hesitant

Hint:

Look for the meaning of the sentence as a whole to find the word that best fits the context.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The sentence describes someone who, despite many failures, continues to work towards their goals. "Persistent" means continuing firmly despite difficulties, which fits perfectly. 
- "Arrogant" means having an exaggerated sense of one's own importance, which does not fit here. 
- "Indifferent" means showing no interest or concern, which contradicts the continuation of efforts. 
- "Hesitant" means uncertain or slow to act, which conflicts with continued working. Thus, "persistent" is the best fit. 
 Answer: \(\boxed{\text{persistent}}\)
