Scriptural injunctions should not be opposed or treated with contempt
EnglishOne Word Substitution
- Aflouted
- Bflounced
- Cfloundered
- Dflaunted
Explanation
To oppose, disregard, or treat with contempt a rule, law, or injunction is to ‘flout’ it. ‘Flounce’ is to move in an exaggerated impatient manner, ‘flounder’ is to struggle clumsily, and ‘flaunt’ is to display ostentatiously. Hence (a) is correct.
