Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word in the given sentence.

The truth was revealed in the interrogation. 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Concealed.

  • The word concealed is the best antonym for revealed because it means to hide or keep something from being known or seen.
  • In the context of the sentence, "revealed" implies that the truth was brought to light, while "concealed" indicates the opposite action of keeping the truth hidden.
  • The other options—evident (clear or obvious), found (discovered), and declared (stated publicly)—do not convey the opposite meaning of revealing, making "concealed" the most appropriate choice.
