Question : Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word.
He was acquitted of all the charges in the court today.
Option 1: Conformed
Option 2: Discharged
Option 3: Praised
Option 4: Convicted
Correct Answer: Convicted
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
Acquitted means to be declared not guilty or cleared of charges in a court of law.
Convicted means to be found guilty of committing a crime, which is the opposite of being acquitted.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Conformed means to comply with or follow rules or standards and is not an antonym in this context.
- Discharged typically means being released from custody or a duty, but it doesn't specifically relate to legal charges.
- Praised means to express approval or admiration, which is not the opposite of being acquitted in a legal sense.
