To pass oneself off as

  • A.to compare oneself to
  • B.to be a hypocrite
  • C.to pretend to be
  • D.to be regarded as

Answer: C

To pass oneself off as means to pretend to be.

To pass oneself off as someone is to make others believe falsely that one is that person: He passed himself off as a doctor. The idea is deception about identity.

To be regarded as describes how others genuinely see someone, without any pretence. To compare oneself to involves no deceit, and to be a hypocrite means to profess beliefs one does not hold, which is a different kind of pretence.
