Cunning

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Simple.

Cunning refers to being clever or crafty, often in a deceitful way, while simple implies straightforwardness or lack of deceit, making it the correct antonym.

The other options—oblique (indirect), stealthy (secretive), and guileful (deceitful)—either have similar meanings to cunning or are unrelated.
