Replace the bold words with the most suitable Foreign word from the given options :

The judge concluded that the company had acted in bad faith in concealing the information.

Malafide

The correct answer is OPTION 1 - MALAFIDE

The most suitable foreign word to replace the underlined words "bad faith " is mala fide.

The word "mala fide" is a Latin phrase that means "in bad faith" or "with dishonest intent." It is often used in legal contexts to describe actions that are taken with the intention of deceiving or harming someone. In this case, the judge is concluding that the company intentionally concealed information in order to gain an advantage. The other options, "menage," "melee," and "modus vivendi," do not convey the same meaning of dishonest intent.
