Choose the correct option to complete the given sentence:

He was admittedly clever, but he

evidently lacked industriousness

The correct answer is Option (4) → evidently lacked industriousness

1. "is evident in lacked industrious" - This option is grammatically incorrect and does not provide a clear sentence structure.

2. "has evidently lacked industriousness" - This option uses the present perfect tense ("has lacked") which is not appropriate in the context of the sentence. The sentence should describe a past action or state.

3. "will evidently lacked industrious" - This option uses the future tense ("will lacked"), which is also not appropriate in this context. The sentence should describe a past action or state.

4. "evidently lacked industriousness" - This option is grammatically correct and conveys the intended meaning. It indicates that he was clever but lacked industriousness, and "evidently" is used to show that this lack of industriousness was clear or obvious.

Option (4) is the most suitable choice for completing the sentence in a way that makes it clear and grammatically correct.
