Question:

From the given options, find the word which is similar in meaning to:

Deceptive

Options:

Disgraceful

Misleading

Dutiful

Debatable

Correct Answer:

Misleading

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2: Misleading

Deceptive means intended to make someone believe something that is not true. It involves tricking or misleading someone. Misleading means giving the wrong idea or impression, which is very close in meaning to deceptive.

Why not the other options?

  • Disgraceful: Means shameful or dishonourable, not related to deception.

  • Dutiful: Means obedient or responsible, which is the opposite of deceptive.

  • Debatable: Means open to discussion or argument, not misleading.
