Today’s “Word of the Day” is berate and it is a verb meaning “criticize or scold or yell at someone angrily; condemn, castigate, rebuke, reprimand vehemently”.
Example Sentence: These statistics are often used to berate them for the poor quality of their school education. A closer look, however, suggests that this may be due to the differences in the syllabus and examination methods of the State boards and the CBSE. Indeed no one could argue that the State boards must make their syllabus completely compatible with the CBSE, for it would tantamount (equivalent) to suggesting that there should only be a single school board for the whole country, ‘one nation one school examination’.
