Question

8/17
spending a month in the wilderness requires a fortitude that many people do not possess. fortitude means...
honesty; moral soundness
strength of mind or character
not good enough; not correct
to judge; to size up

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "fortitude", we analyze the context: spending a month in the wilderness requires a quality many lack. "Honesty; moral soundness" (first option) relates to ethics, not wilderness survival. "Not good enough; not correct" (third) is negative, irrelevant. "To judge; to size up" (fourth) is a verb phrase, but "fortitude" is a noun. "Strength of mind or character" (second) fits, as surviving the wilderness needs mental/character strength.

Answer:

B. strength of mind or character (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with A as first, B as second, etc.)
