1. Key Clues:
- "Ingrained self-destructive habits" $\(\rightarrow\)$ The blank must mean habitual or chronic.
- "Require accountability and a plan of action" $\(\rightarrow\)$ Suggests the behavior is long-standing and severe.
2. Evaluate Options:
(A) inveterate (long-established, habitual) $\(\rightarrow\)$ Perfect fit for "ingrained" habits.
(B) intermittent (occasional) $\(\rightarrow\)$ Contradicts "ingrained."
(C) indeterminate (uncertain/vague) $\(\rightarrow\)$ Irrelevant to behavior.
(D) impertinent (rude) $\(\rightarrow\)$ Off-topic; describes attitude, not habits.
(E) incoherent (illogical) $\(\rightarrow\)$ Doesn't apply to spendthrift behavior.
Correct Answer: (A) inveterate.
