Explanation:

Question 9

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "Venerable" means respected, which doesn't match the context of continuing the fight despite hardships.
• "Ignominious" means shameful, which is irrelevant here.
• "Indefatigable" means tireless, which fits the description of continuing the fight for social justice despite threats and arrests (unfettered by hardships).

Analyzing the options:

• "Placidly" means calmly, which doesn't fit the context of the planet warming without action.
• "Inexorable" means unstoppable, which fits the idea that the planet will continue to warm every year without action (a process that seems unstoppable).
• "Capitulate" is a verb meaning to surrender, and it's not an adjective that fits the sentence structure or context here.

Answer:

C. Indefatigable
