Which term means to speak out against; to condemn?

• A. Denounce
• B. Revere
• C. Indifferent
• D. Ubiquitous

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is knowing a word that means to speak out against and condemn someone or something. The term that fits best is denounce. Denounce means to condemn publicly or to criticize strongly as wrong or unacceptable, often with a formal or moral edge. It’s the kind of word you’d use when someone speaks out against corruption or an unjust policy and calls it out for critique.

For context, you might see it in phrases like “activists denounce the policy as harmful.” That public, outspoken sense distinguishes it from other ideas. Revere means to deeply respect or admire, not condemn. Indifferent implies a lack of interest or concern, again not about condemning. Ubiquitous describes something found everywhere, with no implication of judgment at all.
