Question 1 Report

In the question below choose the word(s) or phrase(s) which best fill(s) the gap(s):

He was not a very _____ student when i first met him but the years _____ his character ultimately

Answer Details
The best options to fill the gaps are "mature" and "matured". The sentence suggests that when the speaker first met the person, he was not very mature. However, over the years, his character developed and he became more mature. Therefore, "matured" fits in the second gap, indicating that the change happened gradually over time.
