EnglishFill in the Blanks
- Arebuked
- Bdisparaged
- Caccused
- Ddemonised
Explanation
Socrates was historically 'accused of' corrupting the youth and of impiety — the formal charge against him. 'Rebuked' (A) is a mere scolding, 'disparaged' (B) means belittled, and 'demonised' (D) misses the legal-charge sense. Hence the answer is C.
