🎉 正解 / Correct!
解説 (JP): 「~からには」は、「~以上は」「~なのだから」という意味で、ある条件や決定が成立した以上、強い決意や当然の結果が続くことを表します。 一度やると決めた**からには**、どんなに辛くても最後まで絶対に諦めないつもりだ。\n\nCommon Mistakes:\n❌ おかげで: '〜おかげで' is used to show gratitude for a good result ('Thanks to...'). You can't use it to express your own strong future determination to not give up! Unless you are thanking your past self, maybe? haha\n❌ ためには: This implies 'In order to decide, I won't give up'. But you already decided! '〜からには' properly means 'Now that I have committed to it'.\n❌ とたんに: '〜とたんに' means an unexpected event happened right after. 'Right after I decided, I naturally refused to give up' doesn't quite sound like the strong battle cry we want!
