Question

what is the correct meaning of the word dictatorial?
the country had always had a dictatorial government.
dominant constitutional authoritarian confrontational

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "dictatorial", we analyze the context "a dictatorial government" and the options. "Authoritarian" means favoring or enforcing strict obedience to authority, which matches the idea of a dictatorial (dictator - like) government. "Dominant" means having power or control, but not specifically about government authority style. "Constitutional" refers to being in line with a constitution, opposite of dictatorial. "Confrontational" is about being argumentative, not related to government type. So "authoritarian" is the correct match.

Answer:

authoritarian
