Correct Answer: Deceit


Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.

Guile refers to the quality of being cunning, deceitful, or sly. It implies a clever, deceitful manner or the intent to deceive without overtly showing it. Deceit , on the other hand, directly means the action or practice of deceiving someone by concealing or misrepresenting the truth.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Morality means principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong behaviour.
  • Pride is a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements.
  • Greed means an intense and selfish desire for something.
