When someone is said to exhibit 'pretense,' what does this mean?

  1. They are being genuine and sincere

  2. They are attempting to impress by false appearance

  3. They are provoking deep thought

  4. They are being straightforward and honest

The correct answer is: They are attempting to impress by false appearance

When someone is said to exhibit 'pretense,' it means they are putting on a false appearance or attempting to create a misleading impression. This behavior often involves being insincere or deceptive in order to impress others or achieve a certain perception, rather than presenting their true self or intentions. In contrast to the other provided options, 'pretense' fundamentally relates to a lack of authenticity. It does not denote genuine behavior, straightforwardness, or honesty, which all emphasize truthfulness and sincerity. Therefore, the correct interpretation of 'pretense' is closely tied to the idea of adopting a facade rather than being genuine.
