The fabric used for the office chairs must be ____ enough to withstand daily use.

完整句需要「be+形容詞+enough」,因此選 durable。durability 是名詞,durably 是副詞,endure 是動詞原形,均無法在此結構中描述布料的耐用程度。
同義改寫
The workshop needs durable storage containers that can withstand repeated handling. → The workshop needs hard-wearing storage containers that can withstand repeated handling.
此處 durable 與 hard-wearing 都表示能承受反覆搬動與磨損的「耐用」。
The two departments have developed a durable working relationship. → The two departments have developed a long-lasting working relationship.
此處兩者都描述工作關係能長期維持,保留「持久」的意思。
