Answer:
A. deferential
Explanation:
<em>He was an important dignitary and was, thus, given </em><u><em>deferential </em></u><em>treatment.</em>
option a. best completes the sentence. to be deferential is to be respectful. so this would mean, the "important dignitary" was treated with respect.
The correct answer is B, a social class. 'Interest groups' have the same interest that influences them. "A political party' is about politics. And D isn't correct as this is not a culture, it is merely a class.
Based on that the use of foreboding in this sentence is used as a noun, the definition of foreboding would be:
A feeling or sense that something bad is going to happen.
I would say that the answer is probably 3. Hope this helped!
