Fill in the blank with the correctly spelt word. The king's _________ reign led to widespread unrest among the people.
despotic
The blank needs an adjective describing the king's reign. 'Despotic' means ruling with absolute, often cruel and oppressive power — which fits a reign that 'led to widespread unrest'.
The word comes from 'despot' + '-ic' and is spelt d-e-s-p-o-t-i-c: one 's', one 'p', and ending in '-ic' (not '-ick').
'despotick' adds a wrong 'k', 'desppotic' doubles the 'p', and 'disspotic' changes the first vowel and doubles the 's'.
Hence, the answer is despotic.
