The meaning can be different from the one in question.

    A cโ€“d Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B aโ€“b and c-d Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C aโ€“c Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D bโ€“d Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E bโ€“c and a-d Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The sentence discusses professional self-presentation. One can understate achievements (verb + object), but cannot overconfident achievements because overconfident is an adjective, not a verb. Conversely, a person can appear overconfident, which correctly uses the adjective. Swapping overconfident โ†” understate aligns each word with its correct grammatical role and intended meaning.
