Correct Answer: employed


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation: "Employed" means to hire or engage someone for a specific purpose or job. In this context, it accurately conveys that the man was hired or engaged for a particular purpose but did not perform as expected.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

"Supplied" means to provide something, but it does not fit the context of the sentence.

"Favoured" means to show preference or support, but it does not fit the context of the sentence.

"Cited" means to mention or refer to something as an example or evidence, but it does not fit the context of the sentence.

So, the sentence would be: "The man employed for the purpose never did what was expected of him."
