Explanation:

- The sentence in question is about how Marie's enthusiasm for learning led her to pursue further education. The word used should convey a cause-and-effect relationship.

- Option 1: prompted

- Meaning: To cause or bring about an action or feeling.

- The word "prompted" correctly denotes that her exuberance for learning caused her to take further action, i.e., to study further.

- Correct choice.

- Option 2: promised

- Meaning: To give assurance that one will do something or that something will happen.

- In this context, "promised" does not convey the idea of a direct cause leading to further study.

- Option 3: proposed

- Meaning: To put forward for consideration or discussion.

- "Proposed" is not appropriate here as it does not fit the causal relationship needed in the sentence.

- Option 4: projected

- Meaning: To estimate or plan something typically in the future.
