Correct Answer:

Explanation:
 

The most appropriate antonym of the given word RUE is IGNORING.

  • Rue means to feel regret or sadness about something that one has done.
  • Ignoring means not paying attention to something or someone.

Therefore, the antonym of rue must mean the opposite of feeling regret or sadness about something that one has done. Of the above choices, only ignoring has the opposite meaning of rue.

The other choices are not antonyms of rue.

  • Repentance means a feeling of deep regret or remorse for one's wrongdoing. This is not the opposite of rue, as rue can be used to describe a feeling of regret or remorse.
  • Mannerly means having or showing good manners. This is not the opposite of rue, as rue does not refer to manners.
  • Noticeable means easy to see or hear. This is not the opposite of rue, as rue does not refer to being seen or heard.
