Wily

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Honest.

  • Honest is the suitable option.
  • Wily means clever at getting what you want and is the exact opposite of honest.
  • It is defined as being straightforward, sincere, and devoid of deception.
  • Compared to other options:
    • Horrid: It refers to something extremely unpleasant and has nothing to do with "wily's" craftiness or trickery.
    • Raunchy: It is another word for impolite or sexually suggestive, and it has nothing to do with what "wily" signifies.
    • Triumphant: It refers to someone who has achieved success or victory; it does not have any relation with the word "wily."
