Question

Being a class monitor had put me in quite a quandary. While I had to report the students' unruly behavior to the authority, I did not want to jeopardize my friendship with my classmates. Luckily, most of my friends seemed to comprehend my problem quite well. However, there were always a few impudent classmates who had utter disregard for the rules. They insulted and disrespected me quite often. A particularly boisterous student was very hard to deal with. He would be rough and disorderly right after I had asked the class to maintain peace in the teacher's absence. While I agreed with his view that some of the obsolete rules of our historic school did not apply to the students today, I thought he needed to be more cooperative. What does quandary most likely mean?

distortion

predicament

runt

Answer 1

predicament

Explanation: "Quandary" means a dilemma or difficult situation—matching "predicament." (Fortitude = courage, distortion = twisting, runt = smallest/weakest animal.)
