Choose the correct pair of words from the options given to fill in the blank in the given sentence:

Once his ....., now Raj is the arch enemy of his friend and keeps passing trite_________.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

A 'confidant' is a trusted friend to whom secrets are told, and 'compliments' are expressions of praise. The sentence contrasts a former confidant turned enemy who now passes trite compliments. 'Confident' (self-assured) and 'complements' (things that complete) are wrong homophones here.
