Giải thích chi tiết
✅ Đáp án: faced
🔎 Lí do: ✔ Phân tích chỗ trống: “La Vie (1) ______ the challenge of establishing … differentiation” → cần một động từ đi với danh từ “challenge” để diễn tả đối diện, đương đầu với khó khăn. ✔ Cấu trúc chuẩn: face + challenge = đối mặt với thử thách → là collocation cố định trong tiếng Anh thương mại.
🚨 Những đáp án còn lại thì sao? ❌ saw: nhìn thấy → không diễn tả hành động đối đầu, chỉ mang nghĩa nhận biết. ❌ felt: cảm thấy → không đi với “challenge” theo nghĩa “đối mặt”. ❌ dealt: thiếu giới từ “with” → phải nói “dealt with the challenge” mới đúng cấu trúc.
