Options
- Aimperious
- Bdominating
- Chumbleness
- Dimpetuous
Correct answer
A. imperious
Step-by-step solution
‘Dominating’ can fit into blank 2 but is unfit for the other blanks. ‘Humbleness’ and ‘outstanding’ are the positive words, but in blank 3, we need a word with negative meaning as per the context. ‘Impetuous’ is to hasten, which is contextually incorrect. ‘Imperious’ means arrogant or dominating attitude. Thus, it fits all the three blanks perfectly. Hence option A is correct.
