Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: barefaced
Key idea: "Barefaced" means shameless, brazen, or undisguised. It suits both sentences because each describes something done without shame or disguise.
First sentence: A robbery that asks an excessively high price for an old bicycle is described as brazen or shameless, so "barefaced" fits.
Second sentence: Describing someone as the most shameless liar matches the meaning of "barefaced," so it fits this blank as well.
Correct completed sentences:
It's a barefaced robbery asking such a high price for that old bicycle!
He was the most barefaced liar I had ever seen.
Why the other choices don't work:
Repentant: Means feeling sorry or remorseful, which is the opposite of shameless; it does not fit either blank.
Unclear: Refers to something not easy to understand or perceive; it does not convey shamelessness, so it is inappropriate here.
Indistinct: Means not clearly defined or perceived (e.g., a faint sound or shape); it does not mean shameless or brazen.
