Use your knowledge of prefixes and suffixes to determine the meaning of the italicized word in the sentence below.

The author mercifully decided to dignify the interviewer's silly question with a response.

A) Award

B) Make worthy

C) Misunderstand

D) Ignore completely

I believe that the italicized word here is "dignify". When you dignify something, you’re making something, may it be a silly thing or not, worthy. Thus, the answer to this is letter B, or "make worthy". That only means that the author is giving dignity to the interviewer’s silly question through his response.
