Answer 1

Condemning is not a synonym of the word 'gloating'. (Option c)

• The word 'gloating' refers to the feeling of pleasure at one's own success or at someone's failure.
• 'Condemning' means to criticize someone or something.
• 'Exulting' also means expressing happiness, especially at someone's defeat. So it is a synonym of gloating.
• 'Glorifying' means making something seem special, usually when it is not, thus, it is also a synonym of gloating.
