Correct Answer: endowed


Solution : The correct word to fill in the blank is the third option.

This means to be naturally gifted or possessed of a particular quality or talent. In the context of the sentence, it conveys the idea that Lata Mangeshkar had an inherent, natural talent for music.

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.

Entrusted: This means to assign or place responsibility in someone's hands.

So, the sentence should be: "Lata Mangeshkar was endowed with a natural talent for music."
