Question

eventually, to regain my self-respect, i had to confess my ______ motives.
1 vivacious
2 peerless
3 infidelity
4 sordid

Explanation:

First, analyze the context: the sentence requires an adjective to describe "motives" that would make someone need to confess to regain self-respect.

1. "vivacious" means lively, which does not fit negative motives.
2. "peerless" means unmatched/excellent, which is positive and not fitting.
3. "infidelity" is a noun (meaning unfaithfulness), but the blank needs an adjective.
4. "sordid" means morally corrupt or disgraceful, which fits the context of motives that require confession to restore self-respect.

Answer:

1. sordid
