Fill Blanks

Question:

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

Many people may not find the rewards ______ with the time and effort required.

Options:

insignificant

gleeful

cautious

commensurate

Correct Answer:

commensurate

Explanation:

The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is:

commensurate

The sentence would read: "Many people may not find the rewards commensurate with the time and effort required."

Explanation: "Commensurate" means corresponding in size, degree, or proportion. In this context, it means that the rewards should match the amount of time and effort invested. The other options don't fit the context:

  • Insignificant: This means small or unimportant, but it doesn't convey the idea of being proportional to time and effort.

  • Gleeful: This means joyful or happy, which doesn't fit the context of rewards matching time and effort.

  • Cautious: This means careful or wary, which doesn't fit the context of rewards and their proportionality.
