Choose an appropriate synonym for the underlined word and mark your answer in the response sheet.
The young lawyer spoke with deference to the judge, acknowledging her years of experience and wisdom.
Answer: B
The synonym of deference is Humble submission and respect.
Deference means polite respect shown to someone, often by yielding to their judgement because of their rank, age or experience. The sentence supports this: the young lawyer defers to the judge because he acknowledges her years of experience and wisdom.
The other options are wrong. A disrespectful attitude and aggressive opposition are the opposite of deference, and indifference or lack of concern is the absence of any attitude towards the judge, which does not fit a lawyer who is acknowledging her experience.
