Easy

From the given options, select the most appropriate expression to fill in the blank in the given sentence:

The athlete's career took a dramatic___________ after her record-breaking performance.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Option 1 -> "close call" refers to a narrow escape or near-miss situation, not a career path or direction.

Option 2 -> "lasting impression" describes an impact on others' memory, but doesn't work with "career took a" grammatically.

Option 3 -> "downward spiral" indicates decline or deterioration, which contradicts the positive context of a "record-breaking performance."

Option 4 -> "upward trajectory" means an ascending path of progress and success, perfectly matching the positive momentum from a record-breaking achievement.

Hence, Option 4: upward trajectory -> A record-breaking performance would naturally propel an athlete's career forward and upward, making "upward trajectory" the only logical and contextually appropriate expression -> correct
