QUESTION 20-21: WORD CHOICE
Super Strikers Challenge · 2 lessons
Because they are picky eaters, it was difficult for me to _______ my family to choose a holiday destination outside of Asia.
• A. persuade ✓ – Correct. "Persuade" means to convince someone through reasoning or argument. Since the family is picky, you need to *convince* them to agree with your choice—this requires thoughtful persuasion.
• B. urge – Close, but weaker. "Urge" means to strongly encourage or push, but it doesn't capture the full sense of needing to *overcome resistance* with convincing arguments like "persuade" does.
• C. mislead – Wrong. You wouldn't intentionally deceive your family about a holiday destination; this is dishonest and doesn't fit the context.
• D. command – Wrong. You can't simply order family members to choose something, especially picky eaters who would resist. This is too forceful and unrealistic for this situation.
That rich man in the black suit is actually the ______ to the Malaccan Sultanate, which means he is Raja Ahmad's only son.
A. heir is correct because an heir is a person legally entitled to inherit a position or title—in this case, the Sultanate. The phrase "only son" confirms he will inherit his father Raja Ahmad's position.
B. relative is too vague. While an heir is technically a relative, "relative" doesn't explain why being the only son makes him special or next in line for power.
C. spouse means husband or wife—wrong relationship entirely. He's Raja Ahmad's son, not married to him.
D. heritage means cultural tradition or inheritance of property/customs—it's a noun that describes *things*, not a person who inherits a title.
