(Choose a lettered word or phrase that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the word in the capital letters.) Once again I failed to sniff out which one is right. I am now wondering if there's a typo. Hope so. Thanks for your help. jeff_999 Joined on Wed, Oct 20 2004 Xiamen Regular Member 817 Capital Letters, Antonyms

A person who is 'above reproach' is one who cannot be criticized for faults, because he is blameless, (or, perhaps, because he is a superior officer, or a potentate, and the like, and there are legal or religious restrictions on who is allowed to blame who.)    davkett Antonyms
