    Question

     Select the option that best conveys the original

    sentence's meaning and in a grammatically correct way. The law firm's reputation for integrity was irrevocably tarnished by the  scandal.
    A The scandal did a little bit of damage to the law firm's reputation. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B The scandal had no effect on the law firm's reputation. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The scandal ruined the law firm's reputation for honesty. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The scandal caused the law firm to re-examine its values. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The law firm was responsible for the scandal. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    This option captures the severity of the damage ("irrevocably tarnished") by focusing on the ruined reputation of "integrity." Option 1 downplays the damage ("a little bit"). Option 2 contradicts the concept of "irrevocably tarnished". Option 4 implies the scandal caused reflection, not necessarily a ruined reputation. Option 5 makes an assumption that is supported by the question statement.
