In this question, select the option that best explains the information conveyed in the sentence.

When the man was caught by the police, he presented a bold front. This means that

  1. he attacked the policemen boldly
  2. he walked up to the policemen
  3. he faced the situation with apparent boldness ✓
  4. he bravely attempted to give them a present
Explanation

“To present a bold front” means to look brave or confident, even if you are not.

So the man faced the situation with apparent boldness, meaning he looked bold.

“Present” here is not a gift, so the last option is a wordplay trap. The man did not attack or walk up to the police.
