Question

It depends on whether we get _________ down by failures or use them as stepping-stones.

• A. wretched
• B. bogged
• C. squirted
• D. eluded

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The phrase "bogged down" means to become stuck or overwhelmed, especially by difficulties.
- "Wretched" refers to something very bad or unfortunate, but doesn't fit the context here.
- "Bogged" fits perfectly with the phrase "bogged down," implying being stuck or hindered by failures.
- "Squirted" means to eject liquid forcefully and is irrelevant here.
- "Eluded" means to escape or evade, which doesn't fit the context either. "Bogged down" is a common phrase used to describe a situation where progress is hindered or slowed, especially by problems or difficulties.
