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.
