Question

Choose the correct word or phrase that completes the sentence correctly.

Do not ........ your rivals.

• A. discriminate
• B. incriminate
• C. instigate
• D. provoke

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

provoke

Option D is the correct answer because to 'provoke' means to deliberately make (someone) annoyed or angry.

Options A, B and C are incorrect because 'discriminate' means make an unjust or prejudicial distinction in the treatment of different categories of people, 'incriminate' means make (someone) appear guilty of a crime or wrongdoing and 'instigate' means incite someone to do something, especially something bad.
