Question 11

To solve this, we analyze the context: younger family members seek the grandfather's advice due to his wisdom from experiences. "Venerable" means respected, often due to age/wisdom, fitting the grandfather's role. "Placid" means calm, "Indefatigable" means tireless—neither fit as well as "Venerable".

The sprinter overcame losing legs via rehab/training to race again. "Surmount" means to overcome a difficulty, matching the context. "Capitulate" means surrender, "Venerate" means respect—neither fit the action of overcoming.

Answer:

B. Venerable
