Question: 286
16. Having suffered numerous injuries over the course of her career, the gymnast demonstrated her _______ by overcoming adversity and winning the gold medal.
- A. consternation
- B. viscosity
- C. dexterity
- D. resilience
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
D is correct. Resilience (choice D) is the ability to recover quickly from illness, change, or misfortune. Dexterity (choice C), meaning "skill and grace in physical movement," is an attractive distracter, but the focus of the sentence is that the gymnast was able to overcome injuries. Choice D is the best answer.
