Correct Answer: aggrandise


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

Aggrandise means to enhance power, wealth, position, or reputation. This helps convey the intended meaning that his sole intent was to increase the area where he rules.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Subsidise means to provide financial assistance in the form of a grant or contribution.
  • Jeopardise means to put someone or something in danger.
  • Methodise means to arrange in an orderly or systematic manner.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "His intent was to become sole lord and to aggrandise his tiny principality."
