Fill in the blanks with appropriate words from the options.Solution
The word ‘further’ is correct here. It means ‘to a greater distance or degree, or at a more advanced level’. The widely accepted rule is to use farther when being literal and discussing a physical distance. Further is used when discussing a more symbolic distance or to discuss a degree or extent. Extravagant- spending too much money, or using too much of something. ‘Distant’ is also inappropriate here. These latest scandals will provide further fuel for his political opponents.
