“The judge's standing in the legal community, though shaken by false allegations of wrongdoing, remained _________.”
The word that best fills the blank in the above sentence is
Answer: A
The word is undiminished.
The sentence turns on though: the judge's standing was shaken by false allegations, though it still remained something. A concessive clause sets up a contrast, so the blank must say that the standing survived the attack intact. Undiminished, not reduced in any way, gives exactly that contrast.
'Damaged' and 'uncertain' agree with 'shaken' instead of contrasting with it, so the 'though' would make no sense. 'Illegal' does not describe a person's standing in a community at all, and the allegations were false.
