The underlined word in the sentence is “despot.” To understand the meaning of this word, we can look at the given options and choose the one that is nearest in meaning.

Option 1: Conservative - This word refers to someone who is resistant to change and prefers traditional values. It does not match the meaning of “despot,” which is a ruler with absolute power.

Option 2: Dictator - This word accurately describes Hitler, as he was a ruler who exercised absolute control and authority. Therefore, this option is the closest in meaning to “despot.”

Option 3: Passionate - This word refers to having strong emotions or intense feelings about something. It does not convey the concept of a ruler with absolute power like “despot.”

Option 4: Monstrous - This word describes something that is extremely evil or cruel, which can be used to describe Hitler. However, it does not capture the meaning of a ruler with absolute power.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, "dictator."
