Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

SURREPTITIOUS

Options:

lazy

open

secret

slow

Correct Answer:

open

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2. open.

Here's why:

  • Surreptitious means done in a stealthy and secretive way, trying not to be noticed.
  • Lazy doesn't oppose the idea of secrecy.
  • Secret is not the opposite; it's more like a synonym.
  • Slow is not opposite of secrecy
  • Open is the most fitting antonym because it signifies being done publicly and without attempts to hide it.
