OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Successful mediation between two countries requires patient and enthusiasm.
A. patient and enthusiasm
Incorrect.
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. The adjective patient should be used to describe a noun, but in this answer choice it has no noun to describe.
B. enthusiasm and patience
Correct!
This answer choice replaces the adjective patient with the noun patience. In the original sentence the adjective patient was out of place, as there was no noun for it to describe.
C. enthusiastic and patience
Incorrect.
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. The adjective enthusiastic should be used to describe a noun, but in this answer choice it has no noun to describe.
D. enthusiastic patience
Incorrect.
Although this answer choice is grammatically correct, it changes the meaning of the original sentence by combining the two separate ideas of patience and enthusiasm into one idea: enthusiastic patience (enthusiastic now describes patience).
E. patient enthusiastic
Incorrect.
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. The adjective patient should be used to describe a noun, but enthusiastic is an adjective too. Adjectives should describe nouns but there is no noun for these adjectives to describe.
