ConceitAnswer & explanation
Answer: C) Modesty
Correct Answer: Modesty
Explanation:
The word "conceit" means excessive pride in oneself or one's abilities (घमंड या आत्ममुग्धता).
The correct antonym is "modesty," which means having a humble opinion of oneself; not boastful (विनम्रता या नम्रता).
Let’s evaluate the options:
• Concealment – means hiding something (छुपाना), unrelated to personality traits.
• Hidden – means not visible (छिपा हुआ), irrelevant here.
• Reveal – means to make something known (प्रकट करना), opposite of "conceal," but not of "conceit."
✅ Therefore, the correct antonym of "conceit" is "modesty."
