What is a "Jeer"?

  1. A form of encouragement

  2. A gentle compliment

  3. A taunt or ridicule

  4. A friendly gesture

The correct answer is: A taunt or ridicule

A "jeer" refers to the act of mocking or scoffing at someone, often in a taunting manner. It typically involves making fun of another person, which can be intended to belittle or humiliate them in a social setting. This behavior is characterized by a lack of kindness, and it usually serves to provoke a negative emotional response from the person being jeered at. The other options suggest positive or supportive interactions. For instance, forms of encouragement and gentle compliments involve offering support and praise that uplift others. A friendly gesture implies a welcoming or kind interaction. In contrast, jeering is inherently negative and offensive, making it distinct from those supportive behaviors.
