Correct Answer: fanatical


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

The term radical in the sentence signifies a departure from conventional norms, often associated with a fervent commitment to unconventional ideas. Similarly, the synonym fanatical reflects an intense and passionate devotion to certain beliefs or principles, particularly those that challenge established norms.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Sabbatical refers to a leave from work.
  • Egotistical refers to excessive self-centeredness or conceit.
  • Sceptical pertains to a sceptical or doubtful attitude.

Therefore, the correct answer is fanatical.
