Explanation:

- The sentence describes someone who is satisfied with their status as a poet, despite not having recognition.

- Option 1: Complement - Means to complete or go well with something. This doesn’t fit the context.

- Option 2: Concede - Means to admit or acknowledge something reluctantly. This doesn't match the intended meaning.

- Option 3: Deject - Means to make sad or dispirited. This would imply a negative sentiment, which isn't suggested.

- Option 4: Complacent - Indicates a sense of self-satisfaction or uncritical satisfaction with oneself or one’s achievements. This fits the context as he feels content despite not achieving external validation.

- Option 5: Articulate - Means having the ability to speak fluently. This doesn't relate to the idea of being content or satisfied.
