Question

i could tell the student was being deceitful: for example, even with cold, hard evidence he was lying to my face. using context clues, what does the underlined word mean?
confused
honest
truthful
dishonest

Explanation:

The context clue "even with cold, hard evidence he was lying to my face" shows that the student was not honest. "Deceitful" means not telling the truth, which is similar to "dishonest". "Confused" means being unclear in mind; "Honest" and "Truthful" mean telling the truth, which are opposite to the meaning implied by the context.

Answer:

Dishonest
