'Conceal' most nearly means:

Correct answer

Hide

  1. A Reveal
  2. B Hide
  3. C Discuss
  4. D Build

Why this is the answer

CONCEAL means to HIDE or keep from sight/knowledge. 'Reveal' is the antonym. ASVAB strategy: 'conceal' relates to keeping something secret or out of view ('conceal the evidence'). Eliminate the opposite ('reveal') and choose the synonym 'hide.' Recognizing antonym/synonym pairs (conceal/reveal) helps quickly narrow choices on the Word Knowledge subtest.
