Choose the word that is opposite in meaning to the underlined word(s) The right thing to do was to deride his presentation.
Explanation
“Deride” means to mock or laugh at someone with scorn.
The opposite is to compliment, meaning to praise. “Approved” is the wrong form for the sentence, and “justify” and “indemnify” have different meanings.
