Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. most.

Context: The sentence is: “…and to give priority to the (4) ___ urgent cases of distress.”
The blank must indicate the cases that require the greatest urgency.

Meaning of the words:

  • least – indicates lowest priority; opposite of the intended meaning.

  • most – indicates highest urgency; perfectly fits the context.

  • high – vague, does not grammatically fit the sentence.

  • more – comparative, incomplete without reference; not suitable here.

Correct word: most

Final Sentence: It endeavours to relieve the suffering of individuals, being guided solely by their needs, and to give priority to the most urgent cases of distress.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
