Back to paper

Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.

Culpable

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Guilty.

  • "Culpable" means deserving blame or responsible for wrongdoing.

  • "Guilty" carries a similar meaning and is the most fitting synonym in this context.

The other options do not convey the same sense of being responsible for a fault or wrongdoing:

  • Absolved: Means cleared of blame or responsibility.
  • Vindicated: Implies being cleared of suspicion or doubt.
  • Acquired: Refers to obtaining or gaining, which is not synonymous with being culpable or guilty.
