Choose the word which is opposite in meaning to the word "Veracity" :-

  • A.Truthfulness
  • B.Probity
  • C.Mendacity
  • D.Integrity

Answer: C

The opposite of 'veracity' is Mendacity.

Veracity means truthfulness or accuracy, from Latin verax, truthful. Mendacity means untruthfulness, the habit of lying, from Latin mendax, lying.

Truthfulness is a synonym of veracity, not an antonym. Probity and integrity mean honesty and uprightness, which are close in meaning to veracity, so they are also not opposites.
