Choose the most appropriate synonym of the below word to complete the sentence.

Being honest and ______ should be one of our most important character traits.

  • A.unfair
  • B.fair
  • C.truthfulness
  • D.truly

Answer: B

The key gives 'fair'. 'Honest and fair' is a common pairing of character traits, and 'fair' is a synonym of 'honest' in the sense of acting justly. 'Unfair' is the opposite of the sense wanted, 'truthfulness' is a noun that does not fit with 'honest' as an adjective in the sentence, and 'truly' is an adverb that cannot take the place of a trait. So 'fair' is the choice that fits.

Honest and fair is a pair of adjectives, so the blank needs an adjective in parallel with honest. Truthfulness is a noun and repeats the sense of honest.
