Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Admonish means to reprimand or express disapproval to someone. I admonish my brother when he comes home late from the park. Rebuke means a sharp criticism or disapproval. I don't like getting bad grades because I know my mom will rebuke me when I get home. Reprove means to scold gently. I reprove my younger sister when she forgets to make her bed. Reprimand means to rebuke someone, especially officially. I was reprimanded at work for coming in late.
