Choose the one nearest in meaning to the word(s) in bracket

There are still [virtous] women in our society today

Answer Details
The correct option is "upright." The sentence is describing women in our society today, and it states that there are still virtuous women. The word "virtuous" means having high moral standards or being righteous. It implies that these women possess good qualities such as honesty, integrity, and decency. , "devilish," has the opposite meaning of virtuous, and it implies that the women are wicked or evil. "clever," means having intelligence or quickness of mind, which is not directly related to morality. "intelligent," means having high mental capacity or being knowledgeable, which again is not directly related to morality. "upright," means honest, honorable, and morally correct, which is the closest in meaning to "virtuous." Therefore, "upright" is the correct option.
