Discussion
The student was extremely foolhardy; he had the ____ to question the senior professor’s judgment.
Answer: B
Correct answer: temerity
Foolhardy means recklessly bold, and the semicolon tells you the second clause illustrates it. The blank therefore needs a noun for reckless boldness.
Temerity is precisely that. Trepidation is its opposite - fear - and someone afraid would not challenge a senior professor; wisdom contradicts foolhardy; and interest is too mild to explain why the behaviour is called foolish.
