[ alt="428 (1)" src="//storage.googleapis.com/tb-img/production/20/09/428%20%281%29.png" style="width: 48px; height: 48px;">Explanation:

  • Here, it should be ‘well’ in the place of ‘good’.
  • ‘Good’ is an adjective which modifies a noun, while ‘well’ is an adverb which modifies a verb.
  • There is an exception - When we refer to a person’s health or well-being, well is customarily used as an adjective.
    Examples: I asked about my friend’s health, he told me he is good now. (incorrect)
                       I asked about my friend’ health, he told me he is well now. (correct)

  • Trudge: walk slowly and with heavy steps, typically because of exhaustion or harsh conditions.
  • Marginally: to only a limited extent; slightly.
  • Despite: without being affected by; in spite of.
  • Exhausting: making one feel very tired; very tiring.
Hence, the correct sentence will be - We trudged through the next few weeks marginally well though the schedule was exhausting to all and, despite our efforts, our other lives were suffering.
