Question

use the context clues in the sentence. even though he wore no crown, the general had a presence more regal than any king. what does the underlined word mean? disappointing, sloppy royal, noble shy, frightened

Explanation:

The context clue "even though he wore no crown" and "than any king" implies a connection to royalty. "Regal" is related to the idea of a king's status. "Royal" and "noble" fit this context as they are associated with kingly or high - status characteristics. "Disappointing, sloppy" has no relation to the kingly context. "Shy, frightened" also does not align with the idea of a king's presence.

Answer:

royal, noble
