Question

Choose the word which is closest to the opposite in meaning to the italicized word.
You cannot blame him because all his dealings are above board.

• A. under board
• B. boring
• C. underhand
• D. beneath

Answer 1

The correct option is C underhand

Above board means legitimate, honest, and open. The opposite of above board is underhand or acting or done in a secret or dishonest way. Hence, Option C is correct. Among the rest of the options, boring means tedious, beneath means at a lower level or layer than. These options do not express this antonym, hence incorrect.
