Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank. 

Despite the reach their destination. challenges faced during the expedition, the team managed to 

Last updated Jun 19, 2026
Correct Answer: Option A — formidable
Here is why:
The sentence uses the word "Despite," which sets up a contrast. It implies that even though the challenges were very large and difficult, the team still succeeded in reaching their destination.

Formidable means inspiring fear or respect through being impressively large, powerful, intense, or difficult.

Trivial, negligible, and insignificant all mean small, minor, or unimportant—which wouldn't make sense with the word "Despite."

Here is how the completed sentence looks:

Despite the formidable challenges faced during the expedition, the team managed to reach their destination.
