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.
