Correct Answer: despised


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .

Cherished means deeply loved, valued, or cared for. The antonym despised means to strongly dislike, hate, or have contempt for something. In this context, "cherished" represents a positive sentiment towards the goals, while "despised" represents a negative sentiment, making it the appropriate antonym.

The meanings of the other words are as follows:

  • Relished : This word means to take great pleasure or enjoyment in something.
  • Valued : This word refers to something that is highly regarded, esteemed, or considered important.
  • Treasured : This term indicates something that is highly prized, cherished, or regarded with great value.

Therefore, the right answer is despised .
