What action is described by the term "reprimand"?

To praise or commend
To criticize or rebuke
To encourage or support
To disregard or ignore

The correct answer is: To criticize or rebuke

The term "reprimand" specifically refers to the act of criticizing or rebuking someone for wrongdoing or improper behavior. This action is often formal and serves to convey disapproval, aiming to correct the behavior in the future. Understanding the connotation of "reprimand" is crucial, as it implies a level of authority or seriousness in the criticism. In contrast, the other options suggest actions that are distinctly different: praising encourages positivity, supporting uplifts without criticism, and disregarding implies a complete lack of response, which doesn't align with the concept of reprimanding someone for their actions.
