CHASTEN
AnswerClick to flip back
A
castigate
💡 Explanation:
CHASTEN means to discipline, correct, or subdue through punishment or experience. CASTIGATE is a close synonym meaning to scold or criticize severely. The other options don't fit: punish is too general, trick is unrelated, and pardonable is an adjective meaning forgivable.
