Practicing Success
Read the following passage and answer questions I have started to notice that there is one skill that is so valuable that it will make you a standout in any area of life, no matter what kind of competition you face. Approaching your goals — whatever they are — with the attitude of a professional isn't easy. In fact, being a pro is painful.

Which of the following will be the most appropriate word for the underlined word from the passage: |
trivialities priorities minorities dullness |
priorities |
Option 2: Priorities would be the most appropriate word for the underlined phrase. The passage discusses how professionals stick to their priorities and work towards them with purpose, while amateurs get pulled off course by the urgencies of life. This implies that the urgencies of life often distract people from their priorities, causing them to deviate from their goals. Option 1, "trivialities," is not the most appropriate word for the phrase "get pulled off course by the urgencies of life" because "trivialities" refers to things that are unimportant or insignificant, while the phrase is referring to things that are urgent and may actually be important. Option 3, "minorities," is not the most appropriate word for the phrase "get pulled off course by the urgencies of life" because it is not related to the meaning of the phrase. Option 4, "dullness," is not the most appropriate word for the phrase "get pulled off course by the urgencies of life" because it is not related to the meaning of the phrase. |
