Correct Answer: trade


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The word trade is used in this context metaphorically to suggest that opponents engaged in various political actions, strategies, or maneuvers against the person.

The usage of trade in this context may be less common, but it is a valid way to express the idea of political engagement or maneuvering.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Regimen means a system of government.
  • Remission means cancellation of a debt, charge, or penalty.
  • Regale means to entertain someone with talk.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "His opponents launched a political trade against him."
