Answer 1

Bows and gives in to someone else.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "supplant" means to replace someone or one thing but under the authority or power of someone superior. Likewise, the word "supplicant" means someone who is a petitioner, or a religious person who seeks favor from God. This petition may be for any form of help or any request of help, but by an inferior person to a higher authority. Thus, it can be inferred that a supplicant is a person who bows and gives in to someone else.

Answer 2

The answer is B: bows and gives in to someone else.

A supplicant is someone that asks for something, specially from someone in a position of power or from God. This person makes a humble and earnest plea to some in power or authority ("supplicants begging for jobs".) So, supplicant can be the person praying for a need, or someone who tries very hard to get something from another in better conditions.
