Choose the most appropriate word from the options given below to complete the following sentence. One of his biggest ______ was his ability to forgive. A. vice B. virtues C. choices D. strength

GATE 2014 · General Aptitude · Most Appropriate Word · medium

Answer: B. virtues

  1. Eliminate incorrect options: Vice is incorrect because 'ability to forgive' is admirable, not a moral failing. Choices is too neutral and vague. Strength is singular and collocation 'one of his biggest strength' is grammatically incorrect (should be 'strengths').
  2. Confirm virtues as correct: 'One of his biggest virtues was his ability to forgive' is both grammatically correct (plural 'virtues' after 'one of') and semantically accurate (forgiveness is a classic virtue).
