Her ____ to complete the project on time impressed the supervisor.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. determination
- Step 1: The gap follows the possessive 'Her' and is the subject of the verb 'impressed', so it must be a noun. Step 2. The noun form of 'determine' meaning firmness of purpose is 'determination'. Answer: determination. Why not the others: 'determined' and 'determining' are verb forms or adjectives; 'determinable' is an adjective meaning able to be settled.
