  1. (a) principled
  2. (b) dubiousCorrect answer
  3. (c) dishonest
  4. (d) painful

Solution.

Answer: (b) dubious

  1. “Dodgy” describes questionable or suspicious behaviour, making “dubious” the closest broad equivalent here.
  2. “Dishonest” is a possible narrower implication, but the sentence does not specifically establish a lie or deception; (b) is the best contextual match.
