Breakdown of the Blank
The sentence describes Emmeline Pankhurst's traits as a suffragist leader.
- Action/Evidence: She "resorted to militancy" and "rallying her 'army' despite the constant onslaught of opposition."
- Inference: Her actions demonstrate extreme determination, persistence, and an unwillingness to be stopped or dissuaded by opposition.
The blank must describe her as an unyielding or relentless crusader.
- A. implacable: Unable to be appeased or stopped; relentless. This perfectly describes her unyielding commitment to militancy despite opposition.
- B. sedulous: Showing dedication and diligence. While diligent, implacable and inexorable better capture the sense of an unstoppable force against "constant onslaught."
- C. illustrious: Well known, respected, and admired. This describes her fame, not the nature of her crusade.
- D. inexorable: Impossible to stop or prevent; relentless. This is a perfect synonym for implacable and describes her unstoppable drive.
- E. incorrigible: Not able to be corrected, improved, or reformed (usually referring to bad habits). This doesn't fit the context of a crusader.
- F. magnanimous: Generous or forgiving, especially toward a rival. This is the opposite of a militant crusader.
The two words that mean unable to be stopped or relentless are implacable and inexorable.
The correct choices are A. implacable and D. inexorable.
