A sentence has been given with a blank to be filled with an appropriate word. Choose the correct alternative.

I am ______ of winning the competition.

confident

The correct word to fill in the blank is confident.

The sentence is about the speaker's belief in their ability to win the competition. The word "confident" means having a feeling of self-assurance or certainty about one's abilities or qualities. It is the most appropriate word to use in this context because it describes the speaker's belief in their ability to win the competition.

The other options are not as appropriate.

• Resistent means able to withstand something or to refuse to do something. This does not make sense in the context of the sentence because the speaker is not talking about resisting something or refusing to do something.
• Pertinent means relevant or applicable to the matter at hand. This does not make sense in the context of the sentence because the speaker is not talking about something that is relevant or applicable to the matter at hand.
• Reliant means depending on or relying on something or someone. This does not make sense in the context of the sentence because the speaker is not talking about depending on something or someone.
