Correct Answer: Praise


Solution : The first option is correct.

Malign means to speak harmful untruths about someone or something, often with the intent to damage their reputation. On the other hand, praise refers to expressing approval, admiration, or compliments for someone or something, highlighting positive qualities or achievements.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Align means to arrange or adjust things in a straight line or in the correct relative positions.

  • Cheerful means being in good spirits, characterised by happiness and a positive disposition.

  • Harangue is a lengthy and forceful speech or writing.

Therefore, the correct answer is praise.
