Which of the following options can replace the following expression?

A person who steals, especially secretly and without violence

A. Treacherous

B. Intruder

C. Robber

D. Trespasser

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

A "robber" normally steals by force or threat, so it does not fit the words "secretly and without violence". "Treacherous" is an adjective, not the name of such a person. NTA therefore selects "intruder" and "trespasser" as the intended pair, giving B and D only.

So, as per NTA's official key, Option 2 is correct.

Note: Neither "intruder" nor "trespasser" necessarily means a person who steals. "Thief" or "burglar" would be more exact, but neither is offered.
