Which is correct? Ellen is a real _______, always doing whatever needs to be done to move a project along. a. trooper b. trouper |
Answer: b
A trouper is someone who works hard for the good of an organization they belong to, such as a corporation. (A troupe is a group of performers and a trouper is someone who ensures that the show will go on.)
Trooper, on the other hand, usually refers to a soldier or a policeman.
