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.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.
