Venerable

Options:

Reliable

Valuable

Esteemed

Redeemed

Correct Answer:

Esteemed

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Esteemed

"Venerable" means deserving respect due to age, wisdom, or character, which is similar in meaning to "esteemed," meaning highly respected or admired.

Option (1) → Reliable: Means dependable or trustworthy, which is related but not the same as being respected.
Option (2) → Valuable: Means worth a lot in terms of money or usefulness, not necessarily respect.
Option (4) → Redeemed: Means saved from sin, error, or evil, which is unrelated to "venerable."
