Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct answer: barefaced
Explanation:
The first sentence describes an audacious, shameless act — asking a very high price for an old bicycle. The second sentence describes someone who lies without shame. Both contexts call for a word meaning shameless or undisguised.
The word "barefaced" means shameless and undisguised, so it fits both blanks.
Completed sentences:
It's a barefaced robbery asking such a high price for that old bicycle!
He was the most barefaced liar I'd ever seen.
Why the other words do not fit:
repentant: means feeling or expressing regret or remorse. It is the opposite of shameless, so it cannot describe the robbery or the liar.
unclear: means not easy to see, hear, or understand. It does not convey shamelessness or audacity and therefore does not suit the contexts.
indistinct: means not clear or sharply defined (e.g., a blurred shape or sound). It does not express shameless behavior, so it is inappropriate here.
