From the list of words letter A to D, choose the one that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentence. My twin brothers love gallivanting about using fictitious names and not their ….. names.

  1. sincere
  2. local
  3. pet
  4. real ✓
Explanation

“Fictitious” means made up or false. The opposite is real, and “their real names” also fits the sentence.

“Pet” names are nicknames, and “sincere” and “local” do not describe a name.
