DISPARAGE :

Scatter
Discriminate
Belittle
Waste E. Parable

The correct answer is C. Belittle.

To disparage something is to speak of it in a negative way, especially in order to make it seem less important or valuable. To belittle someone is to treat them with contempt or disrespect.

The other options are incorrect because they do not mean the same thing as disparage.

  • To scatter something is to spread it out over a wide area.
  • To discriminate against someone is to treat them unfairly because of their race, religion, gender, or other personal characteristics.
  • To waste something is to use it carelessly or without thinking about the consequences.
  • A parable is a short story that is used to teach a moral lesson.
