Answer 1

The correct answer is ‘Unveil’.

Key Points

Ensconce means ‘to establish or settle in a comfortable and safe place or take shelter’. ('एक आरामदायक और सुरक्षित स्थान पर स्थापित या बसना या आश्रय लेना'।)
On the other hand, unveil means ‘uncover or remove a veil from someone to reveal’. ('किसी को प्रकट करने के लिए किसी पर से पर्दा हटाना या हटाना'।)

Hence, the two words have opposite meanings.

Additional Information

Establish means ‘to set up on a firm or permanent basis’ (एक फर्म या स्थायी आधार पर स्थापित करने के लिए ')
Impudence means ‘the quality of being impudent’ (निर्लज्जता; अक्खड़तापूर्ण वचन; अविवेचना; अक्खड़पन)
Request means ‘an act of asking politely or formally for something.’ ('किसी चीज़ के लिए विनम्रतापूर्वक या औपचारिक रूप से पूछने का कार्य।')
