Question 1 Report

In each of the following sentence, there is one underlined word and one gap. from the list of words lettered A to D, choose the one that is most nearly opposite in meaning in the underlined word and that will at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentence.

Despite everything, i chose to keep rather than....the secret.

Answer Details
The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word "keep" and correctly fills the gap in the sentence "Despite everything, I chose to keep rather than .... the secret" is "reveal." The word "keep" in this sentence means to hold onto something, usually a secret or information, and not share it with others. Therefore, the opposite of "keep" is to share or disclose something, which is what the word "reveal" means. In this context, the speaker chose to keep the secret, which means they did not reveal or disclose it to others. So, "reveal" is the most appropriate word to fill the gap in the sentence.
