Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word.

It was evident from his gestures that he was feeling guilty.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

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

"Hidden" is the correct antonym of "evident" because "evident" means something visible or easily understood; "hidden" means something that is not easily seen or understood, concealed, or obscured from view.

So, if something is "evident," it is readily apparent or obvious, whereas if something is "hidden," it is not readily apparent or obvious, presenting the opposite quality.

Therefore, "hidden" is the appropriate antonym in this context.
