Meaning- Westerns once ridiculed by most critics are now praised as symbols of creative expression.
A- Rhapsodize means speak or write about something with great enthusiasm or delight. Illogical.
B- Deflected means to divert or avert. Also illogical.
C- Deride means ridicule or mock. Works well.
D- Exemplars means epitome or model. Works.
E- Anomalies means an oddity. Illogical.
F- Antithesis means exact opposite. Illogical.
@Moderators- Please note spelling of Rhapsodize and Antithesis is incorrect. Please correct. Thanks!
Thank you to pint out Sir.
However, in A we had a typo - fine - BUT the second error you said is not an error. The word was correct as it was written
Antithese is the plural of antithesis. Similar word is phenomena is the plural of phenomenon but people use the former to show a singular event. Or data VS datum: the first is the plural and the second is the singular. People use always data.
