Fill Blanks

Question:

Select the most more appropriate option to fill in the blank.

Facial expressions and body language, many times, do not display the ________ feelings of a man.

Options:

Covert

Open

Outrageous

Popular

Correct Answer:

Covert

Explanation:

The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is covert.

The word "covert" means hidden or disguised. In this context, it is the most accurate word to describe the feelings that facial expressions and body language may not display. Men may often try to hide their true feelings, either because they are afraid of being judged or because they do not want to show weakness. As a result, their facial expressions and body language may not accurately reflect their true feelings.

The other options are not as appropriate.

  • Open means not hidden or disguised. It is not the best word to describe the feelings that facial expressions and body language may not display because it implies that the feelings are being shown.
  • Outrageous means shocking or unacceptable. It is not the best word to describe the feelings that facial expressions and body language may not display because it implies that the feelings are extreme.
  • Popular means liked or admired by many people. It is not the best word to describe the feelings that facial expressions and body language may not display because it does not relate to the topic of the sentence.
