Concept:An antonym is a word with the opposite meaning. "Commendable" means deserving praise or approval, so its antonym should mean deserving blame or criticism.
Explanation:First, understand "commendable". It describes something worthy of admiration, like a praiseworthy act.
Now examine the options:
- "Notable" means worthy of attention – similar to commendable.
- "Laudable" means worthy of praise – also similar.
- "Admirable" means deserving respect – again, a synonym.
- "Blameworthy" means deserving blame or criticism – this is the direct opposite.
Since all other options are synonyms, "Blameworthy" is the only correct antonym.
Answer:Blameworthy (Option B)
