The word 'marshal' means 'gather together' and does not make any sense here. The word in the blank must be a correct adjective for the Brahmin. The word 'inept' means 'incompetent' and does not fit here. The word 'insolent' means 'arrogant and lacks respect' and is the correct word here. It is mentioned here that the Brahmin was abusing Buddha. The word 'choleric' means 'easily angered' and is not apt here. The word 'fecund' means 'fertile' and makes no sense here. Thus option 3 is the correct answer.
