Options

• a determined person

• given no other choice

• ready to take care of the sick

• sure that nursing was an honourable career

Answer 1

Florence’s choice of nursing as a career showed that she was a determined person.

Explanation:

Florence chose nursing although her parents opposed it and the profession was then looked down upon, so her choice clearly shows strong determination. She was not driven to it by circumstances she was well educated and could easily have stayed at home, so “given no other choice” is wrong. “Ready to take care of the sick” only describes what a nurse does, and feeling that nursing is honourable is a belief; it is her decision against all opposition that proves she was determined.
