Directions: Select the option which best expresses the meaning of the underlined part of the sentence below.

He denied all the charges brought out against him.

Rejected is correct because the man is refusing or rebuffing the charges against him. Decline is incorrect because this is a polite refusal. Refused could be used but is too vague and is not as strong in tone as rejected is. Confirmed is incorrect because the sentence does not give us a sense that the man is confirming the charges furthermore, he would accept the charges rather than confirm them.
