   - Respect: is a synonym of admire — it means to have high regard for.
   - Appreciate: is also a synonym — it means to recognize and enjoy the good qualities of something.
   - Praise: means to express admiration — another synonym, not an antonym.

   Answer: (b) Ridicule
   Explanation:
   • Admire means to regard with respect or approval (प्रशंसा करना).
