rebutted E. protected
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is D. rebutted.
To rebut is to deny or contradict something that has been said. In this case, the speaker is saying that the person very successfully denied or contradicted all the allegations that were made against him.
The other options are incorrect because they do not mean the same thing as rebutted.
- Extricated means to free someone or something from a difficult or dangerous situation.
- Eradicated means to destroy something completely.
- Retaliated means to attack someone in return for an attack that they have made on you.
- Protected means to keep someone or something safe from harm.
