Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
The underlined word "deceitful" means dishonest, misleading, or intending to cheat. We need its antonym (opposite).
"Honest" means truthful, sincere, and free from deceit, which is the exact opposite of "deceitful." Hence, "honest" is the correct answer.
The other options do not fit: "fortunate" means lucky, "tasteful" means showing good taste, and "diseased" means affected by illness — none of these relate to truthfulness.
