Correct Answer: failed


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation : In the given sentence, the word excelled indicates that Jason performed exceptionally well academically. To find the antonym, we need to look for a word that represents the opposite, implying a lack of success or achievement. Among the options, failed is the most appropriate antonym.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Accomplished : This word means skilled, proficient, or successful.
  • Pursued : This word means to follow or chase.
  • Continued : This word means to persist or carry on.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Jason was sent to school in England, where he failed academically."
