Question

complete the sentence with the word that best fits the overall meaning and tone.
mikhail baryshnikov, ____________ and highly acclaimed ballet dancer, is also a choreographer and actor.
a virtuosic
an astute

Explanation:

• "Virtuosic" means having or showing great technical skill, especially in music or dance. Since the sentence is about a ballet dancer, "virtuosic" fits well as it describes the high - level of skill expected in ballet.
• "Astute" means having or showing an ability to accurately assess situations or people and turn this to one's advantage. It is more related to being shrewd or perceptive in a non - artistic, technical sense (like in business or strategy), which does not fit the context of a ballet dancer as well as "virtuosic".

Answer:

a virtuosic
