Option 1: mentor, keep, sustainable

Option 2: shape, guide, competitive

Option 3: drive, maintain, tectonic

Option 4: involve, manage, green

AfterBoards · Accepted Answer

mentor, keep, sustainable:
- Mentor: To advise or train. Fits well with building a team.
- Keep: To maintain or preserve. Fits, but not as strong as "maintain."
- Sustainable: Able to be maintained at a certain rate. Not fitting well with the idea of a landscape shifting dramatically.
This option is incorrect because "sustainable" does not fit well in the context.
shape, guide, competitive:
- Shape: To form or mold. Fits well with building a team.
- Guide: To lead or direct. Fits well with building and leading a team.
- Competitive: Relating to competition. Fits well with the context of a shifting landscape in hi-tech firms.
This option is correct because all the words fit well in the context of the sentence.
drive, maintain, tectonic:
- Drive: To propel or push forward. Fits well with building a team.
- Maintain: To keep in existence. Fits well with keeping a team cohesive.
- Tectonic: Relating to the structure of the earth's crust. While metaphorically it could imply major changes, "competitive" is a better fit for the context.
This option is partially correct, but "tectonic" is not the best fit in the context.
involve, manage, green:
- Involve: To include or engage. Fits somewhat but not as strong as "shape" or "drive."
- Manage: To handle or control. Fits well with building a team.
- Green: Relating to the environment or inexperienced. Does not fit well with the context of a shifting landscape in hi-tech firms.
This option is incorrect because "involve" and "green" do not fit well in the context.
