Correct Answer: through


Solution : The correct choice to fill in the blank is the fourth option.

Through means moving in from one side and getting out of the other side, implying that only patience and fortitude carried him from the start to the end of that crisis, which is the intended meaning of the sentence.

Other prepositions do not go well with the sentence and should be avoided.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Only patience and fortitude carried him through the crisis."
