OpenStudy (anonymous):

First, let's define ostensible. When something is ostensible it means that it appears to be true, but may not be.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ostensible means that something appears true, but it might not actually be. sincere is something that is very true and not deceitful, it's honest. fragile means it's not strong and can be easily broken. mismatched simply means that things do not match. and generous means someone is very kind in the way that they offer things to others. With that, what do you think it could be ?

d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Probably not D, since ostensible and generous don't mean opposite things. Any other option you think would work better ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, I would say it's A :)
