Question

Complete the sentence using a suitable option:
The option closest in meaning to the word 'laudatory' is ____________

• A. despicable.
• B. very rare.
• C. admirable.
• D. impractical.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

admirable.

The line from the passage - 'This degree of self-correction is laudatory' means that the content is praiseworthy. Here 'laudatory' means expressing praise and commendation (of a speech or a writing).

Option A - 'Despicable' means deserving hatred. Thus option A is incorrect.

Option B - 'Very rare' is wrong as it doesn't mean praiseworthy. Thus option B is incorrect.

Option D - 'Impractical' means not realistic. Thus option D is incorrect.

Option C - 'Admirable' means commendable. Thus option C is the correct answer.

'The option closest in meaning to the word 'laudatory' is admirable.'
