CANDID

Single correct option

Choose the word most nearly the SAME in meaning as: CANDID
  1. A. Sweet
  2. B. Frank
  3. C. Secretive
  4. D. Polite
Show answer and solution

Answer: (B) Frank

'Candid' describes someone who speaks honestly and openly, so 'frank' is the synonym. 'Secretive' is the opposite, and 'sweet' is a trap from the word 'candy'. 'Polite' concerns manners, and a candid remark may well be blunt rather than polite.
