Correct Answer: regalia


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation for each option:

  1. "Ornaments" - While "ornaments" can be associated with decoration and jewellery, it does not specifically convey the full sense of insignia of royalty.

  2. "Regalia" - This term refers to the distinctive clothing and symbols of royalty or authority, and it is the most appropriate one-word substitute for the insignia of royalty.

  3. "Regals" - It is not a common term for the clothing and symbols of royalty and is less suitable in this context.

  4. "Spectres" - It refers to ghosts or apparitions and is unrelated to the meaning of the insignia of royalty.

So, the correct sentence would be: "The king's coronation ceremony was a grand affair, with all the nobles and dignitaries dressed in their finest regalia. "
