Correct Answer: Intolerance


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation : In this context, the word "prejudice" refers to a preconceived opinion or judgement formed without considering all the facts. "Intolerance" is a suitable synonym, as it denotes an unwillingness to accept or respect certain beliefs, opinions, or individuals, often due to a lack of patience or openness.

So, the correct sentence would be: "There is widespread intolerance against workers over 45."

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Concern : This word refers to a feeling of interest, care, or worry.
  • Temperament : This word refers to a person's nature, character, or disposition.
  • Misfortune : This word refers to an unfortunate or unlucky event.
