Question 1 Report

Answer the following question below and choose the option nearest in meaning to the underlined word or phrase in.

Mariam looks rather furtive to Shehu.

Answer Details
The word nearest in meaning to "furtive" in the sentence is "sly." "Furtive" means to act in a stealthy or secretive manner, as if trying to conceal something. The word "sly" has a similar meaning, referring to someone who is cunning or deceitful in a way that is not always immediately noticeable. The other options, "intoxicated," "unfriendly," and "sad," do not have the same meaning as "furtive" and do not fit in with the context of the sentence.
