Explanation:

For question 2, we need a noun (since "Her" is a possessive pronoun followed by a noun) that fits the context of "secret of her success". "Perseverance" is a noun with the suffix -ance (which means "act, process, or state of"), representing the state of persevering, so it makes sense here. For question 3, the first blank (assuming it's about a person, maybe "actors" but from the given options, the second part: "were asked to" needs a verb. "Persevere" is a verb, but wait, no—wait, the suffix -ize? No, wait, the options are "perseverance" (noun) and "persevere" (verb). Wait, the sentence structure: "The [blank]s were asked to [blank] their lines". Wait, maybe the first blank is a noun (like "actors" but the given options are "perseverance" and "persevere"—maybe a typo, but focusing on question 2 first. Let's tackle question 2: "Her [blank] was the secret of her success." We need a noun. "Perseverance" is a noun (suffix -ance, meaning state of persevering), so that's the correct choice. For question 3, the second blank: "were asked to [verb] their lines"—so a verb. "Persevere" is a verb, but wait, maybe the options for the second blank include a verb with -ize? Wait, no, the given options for the dropdown (from the image) for question 2: the dropdown has "perseverance" and "persevere". So "Her perseverance was the secret of her success" makes sense. So for question 2, the answer is perseverance.

Answer:

1. perseverance
