She deftly **masked** her feelings
EnglishSynonyms
- Ahid
- Bflaunted
- Coblique
- Dobscured
Explanation
'Mask' here means to conceal or disguise, so 'hid' is nearest in meaning: she concealed her feelings. 'Flaunted' is the opposite, meaning showed off. 'Obscured' means made unclear rather than deliberately hidden, and 'oblique' (slanting or indirect) is unrelated. Hence (a) is correct.
