Choose the option that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word(s). No one would emulate if you emulate good behaviour

  1. exhibit
  2. differentiate
  3. imitate ✓
  4. condemn
Explanation

To “emulate” means to copy someone you admire, especially to match their achievements. Imitate is the closest word.

The sentence says that if you copy good behaviour, others will copy you too. “Condemn” and “differentiate” do not mean copy.
