In the following question, choose the option that best completes the sentence.
I have known him only recently so I cannot ____ for his honesty

  1. sign
  2. stand
  3. vouch ✓
  4. support
Explanation

To “vouch for” someone means to say you are sure they are honest or reliable.

The speaker has known him only recently, so he cannot give that guarantee. “Vouch for his honesty” fits.

“Sign for” and “support for” do not carry this meaning, and “stand for” means to represent.
