Question

determined adjective dedicated; not giving up

we determined where the deer went by following their tracks in the snow.

Explanation:

To determine the correct sentence, we analyze the meaning of "determined" (dedicated; not giving up). In the first sentence, "Mrs. Merritt is determined to be the first woman elected mayor" shows dedication and not giving up on her goal. The second sentence uses "determined" as a verb meaning to find out, which does not match the given adjective meaning.

Answer:

Mrs. Merritt is determined to be the first woman elected mayor of our town.
