A
the other's
B
the monarch's
C
one's
D
the man's
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. "The monarch's" clearly refers to King Louis XVI.
Choice A is incorrect because "the other's" implies a second person not mentioned. Choice C is incorrect because "one's" is vague. Choice D is incorrect because "the man's" is less precise than the title.
