The man was happy that his son confessed his guilt and so the others were .......?

B
accused
C
punished
D
exonerated
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: D
The best word to complete the sentence is "exonerated". The sentence implies that since the son confessed, the others were found not guilty or free from blame.
* **Exonerated** means to be cleared of guilt or blame.
* **Implicated** means to be involved in a crime or wrongdoing, which doesn't fit the context.
* **Accused** means to be charged with a crime or wrongdoing, which is also not the best fit.
* **Punished** implies that the others had done something wrong, which contradicts the fact that the son confessed.
