Answer: D) Despised
Answer: 4
Solution: The word "admired" means respected or regarded with approval and praise (प्रशंसा करना, सराहना करना). The correct antonym is "despised", which means to hate or look down upon with strong dislike (घृणा करना, नापसंद करना).
Option 1 – Confessed ❌: means admitted or acknowledged something (स्वीकार करना); not an opposite.
Option 2 – Succeeded ❌: means achieved success (सफल होना); unrelated.
Option 3 – Appreciated ❌: means praised or valued (सराहना करना); it’s actually a synonym of "admired", not an antonym.
Hence, Despised is the most appropriate antonym of Admired.
