Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
They venerated the old teacher.

• A. humiliated
• B. teased
• C. respected
• D. let go

Answer 1

The correct option is C respected

Option C: 'Venerated' means 'regard with great respect'.

'Respected' means 'have due regard for'.

This word means the same as the given italicized word. Hence option C is correct.

Option A: 'Humiliated' means 'make someone feel ashamed and foolish by injuring their dignity and pride'.

Option B: 'Teased' means 'make fun of in a playful way'.

Option D: 'Let go' means 'allow someone or something to escape or go free'.

These words do not mean the same as the given word 'venerated'.

So, options A, B and D are wrong.
