Many times ________ starts with the creative _________ and the enduring passion of a single individual.

Options:

tradition, lethargy

stagnation, determination

renovation, dullness

innovation, spark

Correct Answer:

innovation, spark

Explanation:

The most appropriate option to fill in the blanks is:

innovation, spark

Explanation for all options:

  1. Tradition, lethargy: "Tradition" refers to a customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior, and "lethargy" refers to a lack of energy or enthusiasm. This combination doesn't fit the context of starting something with creative effort and passion.

  2. Stagnation, determination: "Stagnation" refers to a lack of progress or movement, and "determination" refers to resolve or strong intent. This doesn't fit the context of the passage describing the beginning of something.

  3. Renovation, dullness: "Renovation" refers to the process of restoring something to a better state, and "dullness" refers to a lack of interest or excitement. This doesn't fit the context of describing the start of something creative.

  4. Innovation, spark: "Innovation" refers to introducing new ideas, methods, or products, and "spark" refers to a small fiery particle or the beginning of something exciting. This combination accurately fits the context of describing how something starts with creative effort and passion of an individual.
