Question

question 11
the campaigners use the word forbearance in the line:
since that time there has been some evidence of increased forbearance and a willingness to face facts.
what does the root bear to endure suggest about the meaning of the word?
(v.1.2)
it means patience and restraint in difficult situations.
it implies the effort to suppress frustration despite ongoing conflict.
it refers to outward compliance with social expectations rather than true tolerance.
it describes moral indifference disguised as civility

Explanation:

The phrase "to endure" implies having the ability to tolerate or persevere through difficult situations. Patience and restraint in difficult situations align with this concept. Option 1 directly connects "forbearance" with patience and restraint, which is in line with what "to endure" suggests. The other options either focus on suppressing frustration (not the core of enduring in a general sense), outward compliance (not about true endurance), or moral indifference (unrelated to the meaning of enduring).

Answer:

It means patience and restraint in difficult situations.
