The sentence is taken from the short story Editha by William Howell. The theme revolves around patriotism, media and war. Editha is the main female lead of the story who forces her fiancé to enlist in the war.

The correct meaning of the underlined word Ignoble is:

Option B. <u>Contemptible</u>

The word can be explained as:

  • The word ignoble is used to describe the peace at a place but it is contemptible as there is no actual peace in the city as they are going through warfare.

  • The word contemptible also means despicable and hateful that fits best with the story theme.

Thus, ignoble means contemptible.

How can you encourage others to be more accepting of those who are different
nevsk [136]
Encouragement goes straight to the heart. In fact, the word itself comes from a combination of the prefix en which means "to put into" and the Latin root cor which means "heart". Knowing what a big difference encouragement makes in your own life, what can you do to help others to take heart when the going gets tough and the way feels long?
