Correct answer: B
Correct answer: sincere — genuine and earnest.
Glib means fluent but insincere and shallow.
artful — means skillful or crafty; can imply craftiness similar to insincerity, so it is not the opposite.
plausible — means seeming reasonable or believable; glib speech can seem plausible superficially, so this is not the farthest meaning.
slippery — means evasive or unreliable; this aligns with evasiveness and is not the opposite of glib.
