看答案
willingness
完整句以 her willingness to explain 作為 appreciated 的受詞，表示感謝她願意說明。willingly 與 unwillingly 是副詞；unwilling 是形容詞，皆不能在此構成所需的名詞片語。
同義改寫
The supervisor appreciated Ken's willingness to explain the filing system to new staff. → The supervisor appreciated the fact that Ken was willing to explain the filing system to new staff.
將 willingness 名詞結構改成 was willing 子句，同樣表達主管感謝 Ken 願意說明的態度。
The team showed a willingness to try a different meeting format. → The team showed that it was willing to try a different meeting format.
兩句都表示團隊展現嘗試的意願，未表示團隊已實際採用新形式。
