Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Answer: disregard

Condone means to overlook or allow (often something wrong). "Disregard"—to ignore or pay no attention to—matches this meaning and is the best synonym among the choices.

  • "simplify" — means to make simpler; not related to overlooking or allowing.

  • "complicate" — means to make more complex; opposite/irrelevant meaning.

  • "premature" — describes timing (too early); unrelated to the idea of overlooking.

Tip: Synonyms of "condone" include overlook, pardon, and disregard.
