Choose the most appropriate word from the options given below to complete the following sentence:

Given the seriousness of the situation that he had to face, his ________ was impressive.

• A. beggary
• B. nomenclature
• C. jealousy
• D. nonchalance

Answer 1

The correct option is D nonchalance

Given the seriousness of the situation that he had to face, his nonchalance was impressive.

Nonchalance refers to casual / non-serious/ indifferent attitude. The author wants to convey that in spite of the seriousness of the situation, he was very casual.
No other word fits in the blank. Beggary is word that is related to extreme poverty (Beggar). Nomenclature refers to the art of naming.
