Select the most appropriate option to add the correct suffix to the highlighted word in the given sentence:
My son delivered a praise___ speech at the International seminar on Child Rights.

Correct option is A

The correct option is (a) worthy.

Explanation:
The sentence requires a word to describe a speech that deserves praise. Adding the suffix -worthy to praise gives praiseworthy, meaning deserving praise or admiration.

Correct answer – praiseworthy:
Praiseworthy means deserving commendation or approval.
(Hindi meaning: प्रशंसनीय / सराहनीय)
Example: The young student gave a praiseworthy performance at the competition.

Explanation of Other Options:

• (b) praise + able = praiseable – This is not a standard English word. Praiseworthy is the accepted form.
• (c) praise + rich = praiserich – This is not a valid English word.
• (d) praise + ridden = praise-ridden – The suffix -ridden means burdened by something negative (e.g., debt-ridden); it does not suit this positive context.
