MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

ardent means:
sage
fervent
tragic
shrewd
Answer explanation
Ardent is most often used to modify words like supporter, fan, advocate, admirer, and defender — but also opponent. Although you can either ardently support or oppose something, "support" appears more often in common usage. The word literally means "burning" or "glowing" — it's from the Latin verb ardere, "to burn." In poetic use, the word is sometimes used to mean "glowing," as Alexander Pope meant it in his 1718 translation of Homer's Iliad: "From rank to rank she darts her ardent eyes."
