Question and options
Direction: Select whichever word you consider most appropriate for the blank space.
As he got older his belief in these principles did not __________
- wither
- shake
- waver
- dither
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - waver
A belief that does not 'waver' stays firm; waver is the natural collocation with belief. Shake would need an object (nothing shook his belief); wither and dither do not fit.
