Discussion
Which of the following is opposite in meaning to 'admonition' ?
Answer: B
The opposite of 'admonition' is praise.
An admonition is a gentle but firm warning or reproof for a fault. The opposite is approval, which is praise.
'Rebuke' is a near synonym, so it is the opposite of what is asked. 'Flattery' is insincere or excessive praise, a distorted form of approval, not the plain opposite of an honest warning, so 'praise' is the better match. 'Shriek' is a loud cry and has no link with warning or approval.
