Hint:

For synonym questions, choose the word that matches the given word’s meaning and tone, ensuring it fits the context of straightforward expression.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The word ``candid'' means being truthful, straightforward, or frank in expression. Among the options, ``honest'' closely aligns with this meaning, as it denotes truthfulness and sincerity. ``Deceptive'' implies misleading, an antonym of candid. ``Reserved'' suggests being restrained or shy, and ``hesitant'' indicates indecision, neither of which match ``candid.'' Thus, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\text{Honest}} \]
