Answer 1

Hint: Synonym is a word that means the same as the given word. The given word is ‘disregarded’, which means ignored or took no notice of. One must look for words synonymous to the given word, for the correct answer.

Complete step-by-step answer:

 The given word disregarded means ignored or paid no heed to. Option a, “did not ignore” means paid attention to or noticed, which is opposite in meaning to the given word, hence option ‘a’ is an incorrect option. Option b, discharged means dismissed or released, which is irrelevant to the given word and has no relation to the context, hence is an incorrect option. Option c paid no attention to means ignored or paid no heed, which is synonymous to the given word. Hence, option c is the correct answer. Option d, considered means took into account or noticed, which is irrelevant to the given word and has meaning in the given context, hence is incorrect as well. Option c is the correct choice.

Note: Here, one must know the meanings of the words given in the options as well as the question.
