His face turned crimson with rage. He drew out his sword, raising it high above to strike the monk. Just then, the monk looked straight into the samurai’s ____(D)___ eyes and he said softly “That, my friend, is hell. ”In that fraction of a second, the samurai was overcome with amazement and awe for this gentle monk who had dared to risk his own life to share such a teaching. The samurai lowered his sword and bowed his head to the monk. His eyes were filled with tears of gratitude. “And that is ____(E)___” the monk said softly.
Correct option- 5
On looking at the above-mentioned passage, we observe that it is based on a moral teaching of a monk to a samurai. When the wicked and arrogant samurai ordered the monk to teach him about hell and heaven, looking at his rude behaviour, the monk refused to teach him and told him that he was a shame to the samurai class. Thus, the only word that best fits in the blank is disgrace which means someone or something that brings dishonour and shame. Whereas, other words describe a positive quality. Thus, the correct answer is disgrace.
