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.
