Question

Out of the given alternatives, choose the one which is nearest in meaning to the italicised part of the sentence.
He did not continue for long with his murky intentions.

• A. dishonest
• B. dull
• C. lazy
• D. ominous

Answer 1

The correct option is A dishonest

In this sentence we would be looking into the alternate for the word "Murky"

Murky means obscure or morally questionable. The alternate for the word can be dishonest because it means behaving or prone to behave in an untrustworthy, deceitful, or insincere way.

If we look into the other options,

Dull means lacking interest or excitement

Lazy means unwilling to work or use energy

Ominous means giving the worrying impression that something bad is going to happen; threateningly inauspicious

Option A is correct
