    Solution

    The word ‘scupper’ means ‘to sink your own ship on purpose.’ It is correct here. Swansong- a person's last piece of work, achievement, or performance. Yardstick- a fact or standard by which you can judge the success or value of something. Priorities- something that is very important and must be dealt with before other things.
