Each question contains a sentence with a blank. Below the sentence, 4 words are given out of which 2 can be used to fill the blank meaningfully. Choose the option that contains the words that can be used to fill the blank:
Pope Thomas decided to ______________ Mother Teresa to honour her contributions to the mankind.
(A)ostracize
(B)beatify
(C)repudiate
(D)canonize
From the sentence, it is clear that the word used must contain a positive connotation.
’Ostracize’ and ‘repudiate’ means to outcast someone. Therefore, we can eliminate these words.
’Canonize’ means to officially declare someone as a saint. ‘Beatify’ means to declare someone as holy and blessed. Therefore, both of these words can fill the blanks. Both B and D can fill the blanks. Therefore, option E is the right answer.
