The correct answer is: Vain

Key Points 

  • Vain: Excessively proud of or concerned about one's own appearance, qualities, achievements, etc.; conceited. (अपने स्वयं के रूप, गुणों, उपलब्धियों आदि के बारे में अत्यधिक गर्व या चिंता; अभिमानी)
    • For example- She is a very vain woman who is more concerned about her appearance than anything else.
  • So, it is clear that 'Vain' can be used as a one-word substitute for 'Having or showing an excessively high opinion of one's appearance, abilities, or worth​'

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.

Additional Information 

  • Superior: Higher in rank, status, or quality. (रैंक, स्थिति या गुणवत्ता में उच्च)
  • Otiose: Serving no practical purpose or result. (कोई व्यावहारिक उद्देश्य या परिणाम नहीं देना)
  • Domineering: Asserting one's will over another in an arrogant way. (अहंकारी तरीके से दूसरे पर अपनी इच्छा थोपना)
