Correct Answer: holy


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

In religious contexts, especially in ceremonies like baptisms, water that has been consecrated or blessed for religious purposes is often referred to as holy water. This water is considered sacred or spiritually significant, and it is used in various rituals or rites within certain religious traditions.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Hairy means covered with hair, having a lot of hair, or being rough in texture.

  • Haughty means having or showing arrogant superiority or disdainful pride.

  • Wholly means completely, entirely, or fully, without exception or reservation.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "The priest puts some holy water on the child's head."
