If someone is described as "culpable," what does that imply about them?

When someone is described as "culpable," it implies that they are deserving of blame or responsibility for a wrongdoing or fault. The term originates from the Latin word "culpa," which means fault or blame. It is often used in legal contexts to indicate that an individual has committed an offense or has a degree of moral or ethical responsibility for an action that has caused harm or injury. The other choices do not align with this meaning: receiving congratulations suggests positive acknowledgment, being innocent indicates a lack of wrongdoing, and being overly generous does not relate to blame or responsibility. Thus, the correct choice accurately represents the implication of culpability.
