The word REPROACH means:
Correct answer: C. Blame
- A. Approach again
- B. Reach again
- C. Blame
- D. Praise
Explanation
The word 'reproach' means to express disappointment or disapproval, particularly in response to someone's behavior or actions. It is often used when someone is criticized for failing to meet certain standards or expectations. Option C, 'Blame', captures this meaning accurately. Option A, 'Approach again', and Option B, 'Reach again', incorrectly interpret the prefix 're-' to mean 'again', which is not applicable here. Option D, 'Praise', is the opposite of 'reproach', as it involves commending or positively acknowledging someone rather than criticizing them.
