Correct Answer: Pardonable


Solution : The second option is correct.

Venial: In the context of sins, venial sins are considered to be less serious offences and are forgivable without the need for sacramental confession.

Pardonable: This term means capable of being pardoned. In the context of sins, it aligns with the idea that some offences are forgivable or not deserving of harsh condemnation.

So, in this context of the sentence, the synonym of venial is pardonable.

Therefore, the correct answer is pardonable .
