You're welcome.

To determine the correct word for the first blank, you can start by understanding the context of the sentence. The sentence states that "she richly deserved" something from the audience. Considering the options provided in the word bank, the most suitable word would be "ovation," which means a loud and enthusiastic show of appreciation or approval.

For the second blank, the sentence implies that the speaker is being accused of something unexpected, given their sincere appreciation for their parents. Out of the remaining words in the word bank, the most appropriate choice would be "discredit," which means to harm the reputation or credibility of someone or something.

Now, let's look at the remaining words, "generate," "ingratitude," and "plight," and their meanings:

- Generate: to produce, create, or bring into existence.
- Ingratitude: a lack of gratitude or appreciation for something that has been done or given.
- Plight: a difficult or dangerous situation.

By understanding these definitions and considering the context of each word, you can determine their meanings and identify how they could be used in different sentences.

Remember, context is crucial in accurately comprehending the meaning of words, so always keep that in mind when encountering new vocabulary.
