Options

- 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.
