Question: 1 / 400

What is the opposite of 'overt'?

Transparent

Concealed

The term "overt" refers to something that is open, clear, and observable, indicating actions or behaviors that are done openly without any attempt to hide. The opposite of this would be something that is hidden or not easily seen, aligning closely with the definition of "concealed." When something is concealed, it is intentionally kept out of view, thus creating a direct contrast to the openness implied by the term "overt."

The other options, while they might suggest varying degrees of visibility or clarity, do not align as directly with the concept of being hidden or obscured. "Transparent" implies clarity and openness, "apparent" suggests something that is clear or obvious, and "manifest" indicates something made evident or clear, all of which indicate a level of visibility rather than the lack of it. Therefore, "concealed" stands out as the correct antonym to "overt."
