Question 2 of 5
What is the meaning of ostracize?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Snub.'
To ostracize someone means to intentionally exclude or ignore them.

Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the meaning of soporific.

Therefore, 'A: respect' is the most suitable answer.
