Question

    In the question given below, one word has been omitted.

    Choose the most appropriate word from the given options that can fill the blank and make the sentence contextually and grammatically correct. The lawyer presented a well-structured argument that completely _______ the opponent’s claims.
    A Reinforced Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Refuted Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Validated Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Supported Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution


    The sentence implies that the lawyer proved the opponent’s claims to be wrong. "Refuted" means to disprove or contradict, making it the best choice. "Reinforced" and "Supported" mean to strengthen, which is the opposite. "Validated" means to confirm as true, which does not fit. "Ignored" means to pay no attention, which is not relevant.
