Option 1: Given
Option 2: found
Option 3: endowed
Option 4: entrusted
Correct Answer: endowed
Solution : The correct word to fill in the blank is the third option.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:
Given: This means to provide or grant, but it doesn't convey the idea that Lata Mangeshkar had an inherent or natural talent for music.
Found: This implies that someone discovered her talent, but it doesn't necessarily emphasize that the talent was natural.
