Margot’s older brother urged her to stick up for herself and to stop letting her rival opponent badger, belittle, and _________ her.addlecommiseratecovetantagonize

Solution

The correct answer is "antagonize". The sentence is talking about Margot's rival opponent who is treating her poorly. The words "badger" and "belittle" are negative actions, so the missing word should also be a negative action. "Antagonize" fits this context because it means to cause someone to become hostile or unfriendly. The other options "addle", "commiserate", and "covet" do not fit the context of the sentence.
