Option 3: Jeer -> means to make mocking remarks, similar in sentiment to flout.

Option 4: Reject -> means to refuse or dismiss, which shares the negative sentiment of flout.


Hence, Option 2: Approve -> "Flout" means to openly disregard or disobey rules/conventions, while "approve" means to officially accept or respect something, making them antonyms -> correct
