Which word is used for a public expression of respect or honor?

• A. Homage
• B. Sputnik
• C. Simple
• D. Loveliness

Answer: (A)

A public expression of respect or honor is described by homage. It refers to a tribute or reverence shown openly, often in a ceremonial or formal way, toward someone or something admired or respected. The other options don’t fit: Sputnik is the name of a satellite, not a word for an act of tribute; simple is an adjective describing ease or plainness; loveliness refers to beauty, not a public display of respect. So the best choice is homage.
