Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:
You must ________ your career with all seriousness.

• A. direct
• B. complete
• C. follow
• D. manage
• E. pursue

Answer 1

The correct option is E pursue

Option E: 'Pursue' means 'seek to attain or accomplish (a goal) over a long period of time'.

Here, the person 'you' must seek his goal (career) with all seriousness.

Hence this word forms a complete meaningful sentence and option E is correct.

Option A: 'Direct' means 'aim something in a particular direction'.

Option B: 'Complete' means 'finish making or doing'.

Option C: 'Follow' means 'go after something or someone'.

Option D: 'Manage' means 'supervise or be in charge of'.

These words do not complete the sentence in meaning.

Hence options A, B, C and D are wrong.
