Correct answer: C. Disobedience
- A. Alertness
- B. Nobility
- C. Disobedience
- D. Alliance
Explanation
'Alertness' means "the quality of being alert, vigilant". 'Nobility' means "the quality of being noble in character, virtue". 'Disobedience' means "failure or refusal to obey rules or someone in authority". 'Alliance' means "a relationship based on similarity of interests, nature, or qualities".For one to be dismissed from service, negative characteristics are usually associated with the reason and behaviour. Hence disobedience is the most appropriate option.

About Meaning from Context
Meaning from context requires inferring an unfamiliar word or phrase from surrounding clues, including definitions, examples, contrasts, cause and effect, tone and grammatical role. The intended meaning may differ from a dictionary’s first meaning, so collocation, connotation and the sentence’s overall idea must be considered together.
