The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is:

☀ shows

Explanation for all options:

1. Conditions: This word does not fit the context. "Conditions" typically refer to the circumstances or factors that affect a situation, which is not what the sentence is conveying.

2. Portrait: This word also does not fit the context. A "portrait" is an artistic representation of a person or thing, and it doesn't make sense to say that the leader "portrait" the qualities.

3. Shows: This is the correct word. "Shows" in this context means that the leader demonstrates, exhibits, or makes visible the qualities of a good politician and a world-class thinker.

4. Controls: This word does not fit the context. "Controls" would imply that the leader has power over the qualities, which is not the intended meaning of the sentence.
