Correct Answer: diffident


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

Diffident means lacking in self-confidence or timid, and someone with a diffident manner may appear reserved or hesitant, which could be misconstrued as a lack of energy.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Daunt means to intimidate or discourage.

  • Deem means to judge or consider.

  • Debase means to reduce in quality or value.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "And his diffident manner should not be mistaken for a lack of energy."
