The speaker was rather bold in his presentation of the case?
Answer Details
The option that is opposite in meaning to the underlined word "bold" is "reserved."
In this sentence, "bold" means confident, fearless, or daring. The speaker was probably forceful and assertive in presenting their case. Therefore, "reserved," which means shy or hesitant, is the opposite of "bold."
The other options do not express the opposite of "bold." "Unfair" means not just or impartial, "ashamed" means embarrassed or guilty, and "formal" means following established conventions or protocol. None of these options convey the opposite meaning of "bold."
