〜てやまない
皆様の健康を祈ってやまない — we pray unceasingly for everyone's good health.
Tested at JLPT N1 — 10 practice questions below.
Practice 〜てやまない →〜てやまない attaches to the te-form and declares that a feeling — typically respect, hope, love, or wishing — continues without end. 尊敬し is the continuative stem, so 尊敬してやまない fits grammatically and semantically: a lasting reverence for the professor's accomplishments. The alternatives need a dictionary-form verb, a noun, or a second causal factor — none of which is present.
