The context of the sentence suggests that the blank should contain an adjective that is used for a 'disfigured corpse' or dead body.

The only option that can make the sentence meaningful is Eviscerated, which means disemboweled or remove the contents of $one's body.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.

Meanings of the other words:$

Insouciant- showing a casual lack of concern.

Vignette- a brief evocative description, account, or episode.

Torrefy- roast, scorch, or dry
