Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:
Macbeth is a tragedy of a man who was ____________ with great qualities.

• A. possessed
• B. empowered
• C. privileged
• D. endowed
• E. obsessed

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

endowed

Option D: 'Endowed' means 'provided with a quality or asset'. Here the person 'Macbeth' has been provided with "great qualities".

Hence this word forms a complete meaningful sentence and option D is correct.

Option A: 'Possessed' means 'completely controlled by an evil spirit'.

Option B: 'Empowered' means 'given the authority or power to do something'.

Option C: 'Privileged' means 'having special rights or advantages'.

Option E: 'Obsessed' means 'fill your mind about something/someone continually to a troubling extent'.

These words are not the most suitable to the sentence in meaning and relevance.

Hence options A, B, C and E are incorrect.
