Answer:

B). An expression of disapproval or condemnation.

Explanation:

As per the question, option B best displays the definition of the underlined word 'censure' as it best fits the context of the statement. The word 'censure' denotes 'the actions of displaying acute criticism, reprehension or condemnation' which in the given context is complementing the meaning of the sentence and conveys the author's intended purpose. Therefore, the idea is to convey that 'the toiling laborers are destined to work at lower employments as they are more operated by the fear of evil instead of being disclosed to 'reflect or express their extreme disapproval or objection' or possess a hope of being admired. Therefore, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

Why do some playwrights use meter?
ExtremeBDS [4]
Playwrights use meter to help the audience follow what is happening in the play. A syllabic pattern, whether it is stressed or unstressed, in a poem or play is called a meter. This is used to emphasize words and expressions through vocal projection that can portray the nature of the play
