Answer:

Exemplary

Step-by-step explanation:

From all the vocabulary words, only “exemplary,” which is an adjective, has a positive connotation. This term is used to refer to someone or something that serves as a desirable or excellent model, and that deserves imitation.

The other words, on the other hand, have a negative connotation: “Dissolute” is used to refer to a person or a way of life that is overindulging in sensual pleasures and that lacks restraint; “anathema” is someone or something that is loathed and cursed by ecclesiastical authority and “wanton” is an adjective used for something bad (like damage, cruelty, and waste) that is extreme and careless.
