Whence comes it by that vast store which the busy and fancy of man has painted on it with an almost endless variety? Whence has it all the materials of reason and knowledge? To this I answer, in one word, from . In that, all our knowledge is founded, and from that, it ultimately derives itself.

Correct answer: boundless
Explanation: The word 'boundless' fits grammatically and contextually as it describes the limitless nature of human imagination. It emphasizes the vastness of ideas that can be painted on the mind.
