"reprehensible means blameworthy---not admirable.(-4)
"Penitent" means being sorry for fault. Your sentence would only make sense if "he" was responsible for his father's death, and he wanted forgiveness for it.(-1)
"rapicious" does not mean selfish...it means being predatory, or wanting something so badly one extorts it.(-2)
