1.

1). Disposition2). Dismal3). Relished 4). Plodded

Answer»

Correct option - 4

Let's FIND out the meaning of the FOLLOWING words:- 

Disposition - a person's inherent qualities of mind and character; behaviour. 

Dismal - Causing a mood of gloom or depression.

RelishedENJOY greatly; make pleasant to the taste. 

Plodded - To work slowly at a dull task.

Alleviated - To make suffering, deficiency, or a problem less severe.

With reference to the context, the blank should be filled with a verb. But, 'disposition' and 'dismal' are noun and adjective respectively. Hence, OPTIONS 1 & 2 are eliminated. Now, the statement has 'DIFFICULTY' and 'least interest' in it. So, 'relish' and 'alleviated' are giving opposite meaning to it. Hence, options 3 & 5 are eliminated. Thus, I read or went through other books with much difficulty and least interest. So, option 4 i.e. plodded is the correct answer.
