Solution
Answer: Option 2 — (a) charisma (b) adaptability (c) intuition (d) vision
Matching each description to its term:
| Blank | Clue in the passage | Correct Term |
|---|---|---|
| (a) | "magnetic qualities which enables them to inspire and motivate" | Charisma — personal charm and magnetism that draws people in. |
| (b) | "willingness to change in different conditions" | Adaptability — the ability to adjust to varying situations. |
| (c) | "quick judgement without reasoning" | Intuition — instinctive gut-based decision making. |
| (d) | "specific view of the future" | Vision — a clear, forward-looking picture of goals. |
Why the other options fail:
| Option | Problem |
|---|---|
| Option 1 | Places vision at (a) — but vision means foresight, not magnetic personal quality. |
| Option 3 | Swaps intuition and adaptability — "willingness to change" cannot mean intuition. |
| Option 4 | Places intuition at (b) — gut feeling ≠ willingness to change conditions. |
Key Logic:
Each term has a precise definition that maps directly to the descriptive phrase given in the passage. The passage essentially defines each word through its context clues, making this a vocabulary-in-context question.
