They "consoled" each other after the accident.

  1. Blamed

  2. Ignored

  3. Solaced

  4. Scolded

The correct answer is: Blamed

The correct choice, which is to "solace," means to provide comfort or consolation to someone who is experiencing sadness or distress. In this context, after the accident, the individuals likely sought to support each other emotionally, indicating that they were helping each other cope with the unfortunate event, which aligns perfectly with the meaning of "consoled." On the other hand, blaming, ignoring, or scolding do not convey feelings of support or emotional comfort. Blaming implies assigning fault to one another, which would be counterproductive in a moment of need. Ignoring suggests a lack of acknowledgment or support, while scolding involves reprimanding or criticizing someone, neither of which would fit the context of providing comfort after an accident.
