Read the sentence carefully and select the most appropriate meaning of the underlined part.
He was publicly scorned due to his predilection for luxurious items.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. special liking.
The word predilection means a strong preference or special liking for something.
In the sentence, it refers to his strong liking for luxurious items, which caused him to be publicly scorned.
Why the other options are incorrect:
Observant nature – means being watchful or attentive, unrelated to the meaning.
Dreamy meditation – refers to deep, imaginative thought, not preference.
Extreme indifference – means lack of concern, which is the opposite of having a liking.
