Correct Answer: evasive


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation : The term frank implies openness and honesty. Therefore, an antonym for "frank" should convey the idea of avoiding or being less than open. Evasive fits this context, as it means avoiding giving a direct answer or being deliberately vague.

So, the correct sentence would be: He is evasive about what he sees as the shortcomings of his great predecessors.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Assisting: This word means providing help or support; giving aid or assistance.

  • Cheerful: This word means being in good spirits, happy, and optimistic.

  • Fortunate: This word means having good luck, being favoured by fortune, or possessing good fortune.
