Cevap

The phrase 'inured to' correctly completes the sentence both semantically and idiomatically.
The correct option is 'inured to' because it precisely expresses becoming habituated or resistant to hardship (the scalding temperatures and toxic fluid emissions) and adheres to the mandatory idiomatic prepositional pairing 'inured to'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze structural contrast clues in the sentence stem.
The opening transition 'Far from being fragile...' paired with 'surprisingly resilient' indicates that the vent organisms can tolerate extreme heat and toxicity without suffering harm.
Establishing context polarity ensures the chosen vocabulary word reflects tolerance or adaptation rather than fragility.
2
Evaluate idiomatic prepositional complementation for candidate vocabulary.
'Inured' specifically pairs with the preposition 'to' to mean accustomed or hardened to something undesirable or severe.
Standard academic English requires specific prepositional collocations to maintain proper idiomatic fit.
3
Eliminate incorrect distractors based on syntax and meaning.
Options introducing incorrect prepositions (such as 'with' instead of 'to') or contradictory meanings (such as 'pervious to' or 'averse to') are eliminated.
Only one choice satisfies both the logical tone of resilience and the precise adjective-preposition collocation requirement.
