Directions: Identify the words that are similar in meaning to the phrase in underline. If none of option conveys the correct meaning, mark (E) as your answer. The options do not necessarily need to be grammatically correct.
I made no bones about it and directly told him his offer was unacceptable.
Warm behaviour
Incorrect AnswerHave a strong opinion
Incorrect AnswerNone of the above
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Make no bones about something: If you make no bones about something, you don't hesitate to say something in a frank and open way.
Ex: Tom made no bones about wanting to be promoted.
This eliminates warm behavior.
Out of the rest, only being blunt fits in. Rude and discourteous do not match with the meaning conveyed above.
Hence, option C is correct.
