Explanation

Deprecate means to express disapproval of something, or to belittle it. 'Belittle' is a close synonym - to make someone or something seem unimportant. 'Bemoan' means to lament or complain about, which is related but not the exact meaning. 'Help', 'Raise ones social standing', and 'Befriend' are all antonyms or unrelated.
