The two students’ ----- was fundamental to winning the science award because the project required close collaboration.
A) visibility
B) spontaneity
C) rapport
D) acquiescence
E) lethargy

The answer is C but D seems plausible, does it not?



“acquiescence” is probably the second-best answer there, as it relates to collaboration tangentially. However, one can be inclined toward submission without being collaborative. I could see someone justifying “ascequiescence”'s connection to “cooperation,” though.

“rapport” fits well: from Merriam-Webster on its definition:



relation; especially : relation marked by harmony, conformity, accord, or affinity
