Ram was praised for his ________ leadership.

visionary

The most appropriate collocating word to fill in the blank is visionary.

The word "visionary" means someone who has a clear idea of what the future should be like and who works to make it happen. It is the most appropriate option in this context because it conveys the idea that Ram was a leader who had a clear vision for the future and who worked to make it happen.

The other options are incorrect.

• "Imaginary" means not real or existing only in the imagination. It does not make sense to say that Ram was praised for his imaginary leadership.
• "Magical" means having or seeming to have supernatural powers. It does not make sense to say that Ram was praised for his magical leadership.
• "Broad" means having a wide range or scope. It does not make sense to say that Ram was praised for his broad leadership.
