Which verb means to reveal something?

• A. To Demonstrate
• B. To Show
• C. To Hide
• D. To Reveal

Answer: (D)

The concept tested is the precise meaning of verbs that describe making information known. To reveal means to uncover or disclose something that was hidden or not known before. It directly expresses the act of exposing truth or facts, which is exactly what “to reveal” conveys.

This is why it fits best: it denotes the act of making something previously concealed known to others. In contrast, to demonstrate focuses on proving or illustrating how something works, which is not the same as uncovering new information. To show can mean simply displaying something, which is broader and doesn’t inherently imply uncovering hidden details. To hide means the opposite—keeping information concealed.

So you’d use reveal when you want to express that information has been brought to light or made known.
