Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
Some people adopt excellent manners only to camouflage their real character.

• A. project
• B. hide
• C. misrepresent
• D. reveal

Answer 1

The correct option is B hide

Option B: 'Camouflage' means 'disguise or conceal the appearance of'.

'Hide' means 'conceal oneself'.

This word means the same as the given italicized word. Hence option D is correct.

Option A: 'Project' means 'making a certain quality most noticeable'.

Option C: 'Misrepresent' means 'give a false or misleading account of the nature of'.

Option D: 'Reveal' means 'make known to others'.

These words do not mean the same as the given word 'camouflage'.

So, options A, C and D are wrong.
