Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation:
The word 'revealed' means 'made known or visible' or 'made (previously unknown or secret information) known to others'.
To find the opposite, consider words that mean 'hidden', 'concealed', or 'not made known'.
Evaluate each option: 'Eroded' means worn away, which is unrelated. 'Lessened' means reduced, not hidden. 'Obscured' means concealed or hidden, which matches the opposite meaning. 'Publicised' means made known, which is a synonym.
Therefore, the best choice is the one that means 'hidden' or 'concealed'.
