Question 1 Report

From the list of words lettered A to D, choose the one that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentence.

 

Judgement should always be in favour of the innocent and not the_________

Answer Details
The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word "innocent" and that will correctly fill the gap in the sentence is "guilty". The word "innocent" means "not guilty of a crime or offense", so the word "guilty" means "having committed a crime or offense". The sentence is saying that judgment should always be in favor of the person who is not guilty, rather than in favor of the person who has committed a crime or offense.
