The question is asking for the word that best completes the sentence "Urza's __ helped the men survive." The paragraph describes a situation where a mine in Chile collapsed, trapping thirty-three miners. Luis Urza, one of the miners, played a crucial role in helping the men survive. He warned the other men to remain calm, rationed their emergency supplies, and kept them occupied by having them dig for water. He also used the small hole drilled by rescuers to send maps of the tunnels and the large open area where they were located. After 69 days underground, the miners were finally rescued. Urza's actions demonstrate leadership, which is why option A, "leadership," is the correct answer. Options B, "machinery," and C, "expedition," do not accurately describe Urza's actions. Option D, "kindness," while a positive trait, does not encompass the full range of Urza's actions and decisions that helped the men survive.
