Yes, strictly speaking, synonym of a verb should be in verb form.

thank you

actually there was an antonym question in spsc screening
auspicious
luckless, despair
and some people are saying that correct option is despiar, despair is a verb and auspicious is an adjective, so correct choice is luckless.

To be honest, if I were you, I would have also gone with the "reproached for" choice. Both the options look correct.I don't know why they have preferred "reproached with" option.
