Question and options
MORTIFY means
- Make a cavity
- Displease
- Humiliate
- Relapse
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - Humiliate
To mortify is to make someone feel deeply ashamed or embarrassed, so its closest meaning is “humiliate”. “Displease” is far weaker: it means only to make someone unhappy or annoyed, without the sense of shame. “Make a cavity” and “relapse” are unrelated.
