Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Acknowledge.
Explanation:
-
Veil: Veil means to cover, conceal, or disguise. It is the opposite of confess and does not have a similar meaning.
-
Dissimulate: Dissimulate means to hide one's true feelings, thoughts, or intentions. While it involves concealment, it doesn't necessarily mean admitting or confessing to something.
-
Acknowledge: Acknowledge means to admit the existence, truth, or fact of something. It is synonymous with confess, as both words imply admitting or accepting something, whether it's a truth, a mistake, or a wrongdoing.
-
Deny: Deny means to refuse to admit the truth, existence, or reality of something. It is the opposite of confess and does not have a similar meaning.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
