Repeat some terrible choices (4)
I believe the answer is:
echo
'repeat' is the definition.
(I know that repeat can be written as echo)
'some terrible choices' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'ECHO' can be found hidden inside 'terrible choices'.
(Other definitions for echo that I've seen before include "Mimic" , "Reflect sound" , "Nymph; E (radio comms.)" , "Ape" , "letter we hear" .)
