Correct Answer: expelled


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Expelled means forcibly removed or excluded, especially from a place or institution. This is the correct option, as it aligns with the context of the BBC reporter facing a negative consequence (expulsion) for a disrespectful portrayal of North Korea and its leader.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Welcomed: Greeted with pleasure or approval; received with gladness or open arms.

  • Recognised: Identified or acknowledged someone or something based on previous knowledge or information.

  • Celebrated: Publicly acknowledged or praised for an achievement.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "A BBC reporter was expelled for what North Korea deemed a disrespectful portrayal of the country and its leader."
