Question:

Complete the sentence with the most appropriate word or phrase out of the given options.
To err is human, to ____ divine.

Options:

forgive

hate

like

love

Correct Answer:

forgive

Explanation:

The most appropriate word to complete the sentence is forgive.

The other options are not as accurate. Hate suggests that it is divine to hate someone who has made a mistake, but this is not the case. Like and love suggest that it is divine to feel positive emotions towards someone who has made a mistake, but this is not what the proverb is saying. Forgive is the best option because it suggests that it is divine to be able to let go of anger or resentment towards someone who has made a mistake.
