Explanation:

Question 1

To solve this, we analyze the meanings: "resilient" means able to recover quickly from difficulties, while "imminent" means about to happen. The sentence says Elena recovers quickly, so "resilient" is correct.

"Eloquent" means fluent or persuasive in speaking, and "innocent" means not guilty or naive. For a speaker, being good with words (eloquent) makes sense.

"Absorbent" refers to a material's ability to soak up liquids (like a sponge), while "solvent" is a substance that dissolves others. A sponge is absorbent.

Answer:

resilient
