Correct Answer: torpid


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation:

The adjective torpid is the most suitable choice to fill in the blank. The sentence indicates that the life of the church appears to have been in a state of stagnation and inactivity during this age. Torpid means sluggish or inactive, making it an appropriate descriptor for the condition of the church's life.

So, the correct sentence would be: The life of the church seems, indeed, to have been in a more stagnant and torpid condition in this age than at any other period of English history.
