Question

Which word best completes this sentence?

Oliver had a(n) ______ ability as a wide receiver, naturally dodging tackles and making his way down the football field.

Answer 1

Answer:

Oliver had a special ability as a wide .......

Answer 2

Oliver had an ‘inherent’ ability as a ‘wide receiver’, naturally’ dodging tackles’ and making his way down the ‘football field’.

EXPLANATION:  

In this sentence, inherent is the correct answer. Inherent means in born or something or some quality that the person has since his birth. In the given sentence, inherent will be the most appropriate option as Oliver had the ability of being a wide receiver from birth itself.  

It was a ‘characteristic trait’ that he possessed since his childhood. The quality came from within. Thus inherent ability is the correct answer and the other options are all inappropriate and incorrect.
