The best replacement for “spineless” in the excerpt would be:
B) contemptible.
Explanation: The word “spineless” typically refers to someone who lacks courage or determination, often suggesting weakness or cowardice. “Contemptible” conveys a similar negative connotation, implying someone deserving of scorn or disdain. The other options (careful, congenial, cordial) do not capture this sense of weakness.
