Question
Each of the following sentences has two blanks. Select
the most appropriate pair of words from the options given to fill in the blanks so that the sentence is grammatically and contextually correct. In highly competitive environments, individuals often cultivate an outward demeanor of confidence that may, in reality, ______ deeper insecurities, thereby making their apparent composure somewhat ______ upon closer scrutiny.Solution
The sentence suggests a contrast between appearance and reality. People appear confident but actually hide insecurities. Therefore, the first blank must mean to hide, making “conceal” appropriate. The second blank refers to how this outward confidence appears when examined closely. Since it is not genuine, it must seem misleading or false, which aligns with “deceptive.” Other options fail because: “reveal” contradicts hiding “amplify” and “expose” are opposite of concealment “stable” and “credible” contradict the idea of falseness Thus, the sentence reflects psychological masking and illusion of confidence.
