Question

Very often an insult will be ___________ by what you are rather than who you are.
Warranted
Ignited
Prompted
Hidden

Answer 1

The best fit for the sentence is "prompted."

So it would read: "Very often an insult will be prompted by what you are rather than who you are."

This suggests that the reason for the insult is often related to external characteristics or identity rather than personal qualities or actions.
