Correct Answer: misappropriated


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

Misappropriated means to use funds inappropriately for another purpose other than the intended one, which fits perfectly in the sentence.

The meanings of the other options are:

  • Pirated means illegal duplication and copyright infringement.
  • Misplaced means to lose something.
  • Enticed means to persuade someone through appealing means, all of which don't fit contextually.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "The chairman misappropriated the company's funds, so he was dismissed."
