Correct Answer: allow
Solution : The right option is the second option .
In this sentence, the speaker expresses their commitment to using only specific tools or strategies for their defence.
The word allow indicates the speaker's deliberate choice or permission to use these particular defences: "silence, exile, and cunning".
Hence, the complete sentence would be: "As wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use: silence, exile, and cunning."
