Which word best completes the sentence: 'Her stance was ____, making her position clear.'

Assertive Relinquish Metaphor Stereotype

Correct Answer:

Assertive

Explanation:

Choosing an adjective that describes how she presents her position—confident and clear—fits best. Assertive means confidently self-assured and willing to state one’s views, which makes the sentence read as Her stance was assertive, making her position clear. The other words don’t fit because relinquish is a verb meaning to give up, which wouldn’t describe a stance; metaphor is a noun for a figure of speech and would not describe how she presents her position; stereotype is a noun for a fixed, oversimplified belief and also wouldn’t describe a stance. After “Her stance was,” you want an adjective, and assertive is the correct fit.
