Adversity refers to a state of persistent or grave misfortune, misfortune is a general term for bad luck or an unfortunate event, and crisis denotes a time of intense difficulty or danger with a potential for a significant outcome.
Some common synonyms of adversity are mischance, misfortune, and mishap. While all these words mean "adverse fortune or an instance of this, " adversity applies to a state of grave or persistent misfortune.
Note: The question asks for the one that best expresses, they might look similar but "Misfortune, " fits best!
