Answer 1

Option 'b' is the correct choice, as it reflects the character's enduring values and the difficult situation indicated in the given passage.

Step-by-step explanation:

Latimer's course remained steadfast; retained worth; and dilemma befitted their present predicament in which he and Ridley found themselves. The excerpt points to a character that is resolute, stable in his convictions, and enduring in worth, which best aligns with option 'b' in the choices provided.
