Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

  • The sentence implies that we do not need to do anything extra to gain trust. So the word must be something simple.
  • Thus, "extraordinary" and "heroic" is incorrect for the blank.
  • Also, being "calm" won't help gaining trust, but being "honest" will.
  • "Honest" means free of deceit; truthful and sincere.
