Question 1 Report

Choose the option opposite in meaning to the underlined word(s).

The tennis player surreptitiously swapped rackets after the first set?

Answer Details
The underlined word "surreptitiously" means to do something in a secretive or sneaky way, so the option that is opposite in meaning is "openly retained." This means that the tennis player would have kept the same racket openly and without any attempt to hide it. The other options are not opposite in meaning, as "overtly exchanged" means to exchange openly, "quietly surrendered" means to give up quietly, and "violently swung" means to swing violently.
