  • A. praised … commendable
  • B. unnerved … exemplary
  • C. reviled … meritorious
  • D. recognized … contemptible

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

A is correct. Because this sentence lacks words or phrases that signal contrast, you should be looking for a pair of words that will complement one another. From the choices you are given, you can see that only choice A, praised … commendable, fits this criteria. All of the other choices are word pairs that have conflicting meanings.
