Correct Answer: Avarise


Solution : The correct answer is the first option.

Avarice: This is a noun that signifies an extreme desire for wealth and possessions, often to the point of greed. It implies an insatiable appetite for material gain.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Adverse: This term means something that is unfavourable, harmful, or working against one's interests. It often refers to negative conditions or circumstances.
  • Admonish: It means to warn or reprimand someone firmly. It is often used when advising or cautioning someone about their behaviour.
  • Beige: It is a colour term. It refers to a pale, light brown, or fawn colour that is often used to describe something that is plain or lacking in excitement.

Therefore, avarise is the incorrect spelling, and the correct spelling is avarice.
