Final answer:
The correct answer to complete the analogy 'reject : embrace :: laudable :' is 'disgraceful'. As 'reject' is to 'embrace', so is 'laudable' to 'disgraceful', both pairs showing an opposite relationship.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question involves analogies, which are comparisons between two different things that have a similar relationship. The first pair of words, reject and embrace, are opposites. To reject is to refuse to accept or consider something, while to embrace is to accept something willingly or enthusiastically. We are essentially looking for a word that is the opposite of 'laudable', which means deserving praise or commendation.
The correct answer is A) disgraceful. 'Disgraceful' means shameful or unacceptable, which is the opposite of 'laudable'. Therefore, the analogy completes as 'reject' is to 'embrace' as 'laudable' is to 'disgraceful'.
