Question

sully means to:
terminate the employment of
recall knowledge from memory
charge falsely or with malicious intent
escape, either physically or mentally

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the meaning of "sully" and each option:

• "Terminate the employment of" means to fire, not related to "sully".
• "Recall knowledge from memory" is to remember, not related.
• "Charge falsely or with malicious intent" (like slandering) can sully (damage the reputation of) someone, matching the meaning of "sully" (to tarnish or defame).
• "Escape, either physically or mentally" is unrelated.

Answer:

C. charge falsely or with malicious intent
