?Which word?

Keep apart vindicate (prove right or innocent) and vindictive (wanting revenge), a regular trap.

Vindicate (सही या निर्दोष सिद्ध करना) और vindictive (बदला चाहने वाला) को अलग रखिए, यह नियमित trap है।

Keep the clearing words together: vindicate, exonerate, acquit (by a court), absolve (from blame or sin).

दोषमुक्ति के शब्द साथ याद रखिए: vindicate, exonerate, acquit (अदालत द्वारा), absolve (दोष या पाप से)।
