問題文の ___ に入る言葉を選ぶ。

English Explanation

"円滑" (enkatsu) means "smooth and without trouble," making it the perfect word to describe the progress of negotiations. "柔軟" (juunan) refers to a flexible approach, "旺盛" (ousei) describes vigor (like appetite or curiosity), and "巧妙" (koumyou) means skillful or clever, but "円滑" is the best choice to describe the overall smooth progression.

日本語解説

「円滑」は「物事が滞りなく、順調に進むさま」を意味し、交渉や会議の進行を表現するのに最適です。「柔軟」は対応の仕方、「旺盛」は意欲や食欲が盛んなこと、「巧妙」はやり方が巧みなことを指しますが、交渉全体の順調な進行を表すには「円滑」が最も適しています。
