Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. conceited.
"Modest" means showing humility or not being boastful.
- Distant: This doesn't directly relate to the concept of modesty.
- Unpresuming: This is a synonym of "modest," not an antonym.
- Conceited: This is the opposite of modesty, as it implies being excessively proud or vain.
- Obvious: This doesn't directly relate to the concept of modesty.
Therefore, "conceited" is the most appropriate antonym in this scenario.
