The person has been faithful and ___ in carrying out challenging tasks and has done as much as possible. (persistence)
题目解答
答案
根据题目要求，需要填入一个与“persistence”相关的形容词，与“faithful”并列修饰“in carrying out challenging tasks”。分析“persistence”一词，其形容词形式为“persistent”，表示“坚持不懈的”。将“persistent”代入句子后，语义连贯，符合上下文。完整句子为：
“The person has been faithful and persistent in carrying out challenging tasks and has done as much as possible.”
答案：persistent
解析
本题考查词汇的词性转换。解题思路如下：
- 首先，观察句子结构，“faithful”和空格处的词是并列关系，共同修饰“in carrying out challenging tasks”，所以空格处需要一个形容词。
- 接着，分析所给单词“persistence”，它是名词，意为“坚持；毅力”。
- 最后，将“persistence”转换为形容词形式“persistent”，其含义为“坚持不懈的”，代入句子中，句子 “The person has been faithful and persistent in carrying out challenging tasks and has done as much as possible.” 语义通顺，符合语境。
