Choose the option opposite in meaning to the unerlined word(s).Th principal was filled with scorn when we gave our reason for coming late?

Answer Details

The option opposite in meaning to the underlined word "scorn" is "sympathy." Scorn means to have contempt or disdain towards something or someone, while sympathy means to have feelings of understanding or compassion towards someone. Therefore, if the principal was filled with scorn when the speaker gave their reason for coming late, it means the principal had a negative opinion towards them. The opposite of that would be if the principal had sympathy towards them, which means the principal would have understood and been compassionate towards their situation.
