Question

The leader might have had some covert reason for the change of his political affiliations.

• A. Unjustifiable
• B. Obvious
• C. Inexplicable
• D. Flimsy

Hint:

When you see the word ``covert," think of something hidden that may become clear or obvious over time, as opposed to inexplicable or unjustifiable reasons.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The word ``covert" means hidden or secret. In the context of the sentence, it suggests that the leader had a reason for the change that was not immediately apparent or was kept from others. 
- Option A: ``Unjustifiable" means something that cannot be justified, which does not align with the idea of a covert reason, as the reason might be hidden but not necessarily unjustifiable. 
- Option B: ``Obvious" is the correct answer. This is because, in this context, the covert reason refers to something hidden that eventually becomes clear or is easily understood — a reason that becomes apparent or obvious. 
- Option C: ``Inexplicable" means something that cannot be explained or understood, which contradicts the idea of a reason eventually becoming clear or obvious. 
- Option D: ``Flimsy" refers to something weak or lacking substance, which is not consistent with the context of the leader's political affiliations. Thus, the correct answer is Option B.
