Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: rebuked.
To rebuke someone is to scold them or criticize them severely. In this case, the chairman is scolding the accounts officer for not supervising the work of his subordinates.
The other options are not correct because they do not convey the meaning of scolding or criticizing someone severely.
- Received: to take something that is given to you.
- Awarded: to give someone a prize or honor.
- Invited: to ask someone to come to a place or event.
- Praised: to say good things about someone or something.
