Choose the option nearest in meaning to the underlined word(s).The teacher's apparent nonchalant attitude was misconstrued by his students?
Answer Details
The option nearest in meaning to the underlined word is "misinterpreted". This is because "misconstrued" means to interpret something in the wrong way, so the students did not understand the teacher's attitude correctly. "Misrepresented" means to give a false or misleading representation of something, while "misquoted" means to repeat something someone said inaccurately. "Condoned" means to approve or allow something, which is not the intended meaning of the sentence.
