    Question

    Select the most appropriate synonym of the bracketed word

    in the following sentence to fill in the blank: Despite repeated warnings, the officer's conduct remained ________ (reprehensible) in the eyes of the disciplinary committee.
    A commendable Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B acceptable Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C blameworthy Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D admirable Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The word “reprehensible” means deserving strong criticism or blame — typically for unethical or improper behavior.

    The synonym “blameworthy” best fits this meaning, as it means deserving of blame.

    “Commendable”, “acceptable”, and “admirable” are all positive in tone, and the opposite of what’s needed here.

    So, the correct answer is Option 3: blameworthy.
