Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: Eternal.
Explanation: In the passage, money given to the poor is said to become blessings from God that persist beyond this life. The blank modifies "property," so the correct word should express that lasting, after-life quality. "Eternal" means everlasting and therefore fits the meaning.
Eternal — correct because it means everlasting; matches the idea of blessings or property that continue beyond life.
Clinical — incorrect because it pertains to medicine or a detached approach; it does not describe lasting spiritual benefits.
Inspirational — incorrect because it means motivating; it does not convey the sense of permanence required by the sentence.
Honorable — incorrect because it means worthy of respect; it does not express the continuing, after-life nature of the blessings.
Thus, "eternal" best completes the sentence by conveying that the blessings become a lasting (everlasting) possession or property.
