The President of the party depreciated the move of the Government to introduce electoral reforms in a haste.

• A. extricated
• B. humiliated
• C. denied
• D. undervalued

Answer 1

The correct option is D undervalued

The highlighted word means 'lower the value of something'.

Option D is correct. 'Undervalued' also means 'lowered the value of something'. Thus, it is the correct answer.

Options A, B and C are incorrect. They do not have the required meaning.

'Extricated' means 'released' and 'humiliated' means 'embarrassed'.
