Find out the most effective word from the given options to fill in the blanks…

Answer: haughty

Why this word fits:

• The first sentence says the principal "considers herself to be above everyone else," which describes an arrogantly superior attitude.

• The second sentence says Derrick’s attitude made him an undesirable friend, implying his behavior was proud or disdainful.

• The word haughty means arrogantly superior and disdainful, so it fits both blanks.

Meanings of the answer choices:

• humble — having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's importance (opposite of arrogant).

• haughty — arrogantly superior and disdainful (fits both sentences).

• meek — quiet, gentle, and easily imposed on; submissive (does not convey arrogance).

• resigned — having accepted something unpleasant that one cannot do anything about (unrelated to being arrogant).
