Question 1 Report

Choose the option nearest in meaning to the underlined world(S).

When he found himself in a difficult situation, he tried to double-talk his way through?

Answer Details
The underlined phrase "double-talk his way through" means to use language that is deliberately confusing or ambiguous to deceive or mislead others in order to get out of a difficult situation. Among the options given, the one that best matches the meaning of the phrase is "mix up facts to confuse people." This is because when someone is double-talking, they are intentionally using language that is unclear or difficult to follow, often by mixing up or manipulating facts or information. This can be done in order to confuse or deceive others into thinking that the speaker knows more than they actually do or to avoid answering questions directly.
