• A. Punished
• B. Sentenced
• C. Crucified
• D. Acquitted

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Acquitted

• 1. Meaning of the Underlined Word: Convicted is a legal term meaning to be officially declared guilty of a crime by the verdict of a jury or the decision of a judge in a court of law. 2. Finding the Antonym: An antonym must be the opposite in meaning. Acquitted means to be officially declared not guilty of a charge. While a conviction leads to punishment, an acquittal leads to the person being set free.
