ASCENDANT
Consistent

Up-and-coming
Sinking
Up-and-coming
“Ascendant” is an adjective that means “rising in power or influence,” so we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like “rising.” That means that “sinking” cannot be the correct answer, because “sinking” means “descending or dropping,” making it an antonym, not a synonym, of “ascendant.” “Up-and-coming,” however, is an adjective that is used of a person beginning a particular activity or occupation and means “making good progress toward success,” and because “up-and-coming” is the answer choice closest in meaning to “ascendant,” “up-and-coming” is the correct answer.
