He was admonished for the delay.

dismissed
admired

The correct answer is C. censured.

To admonish someone is to scold them or criticize them for something they have done wrong. Censure is a formal expression of disapproval, typically by a public body or a person in authority.

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

  • To dismiss someone is to fire them from their job.
  • To admire someone is to think highly of them and to respect them.
  • To advise someone is to give them advice or guidance.
