medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The expression "a taste of their own medicine" means to experience the same harmful or negative treatment that one has inflicted on others. In the context of the sentence, it suggests that some men will continue to cause offences until they themselves experience the consequences or negative actions similar to what they have done to others.
Option B, "revenged on," is the nearest in meaning because it conveys the idea that these men will continue their offensive behaviour until they face retaliation or consequences similar to what they have caused to others.
