    Question

    Fill in the blank in the sentence given below by choosing the correct option out of those that follow.
    He can’t be dishonest. He is ______ board.

    A.

    on

    B.

    off

    C.

    above

    D.

    upon

    Correct option is C


    The correct option to fill in the blank is (c) above.
    Detailed Explanation (English):
    • The expression “above board” is a fixed idiom.
    • It means honest, open, and legal (without cheating or hidden motives).
    • Since the sentence says “He can’t be dishonest,” the idiom “above board” fits perfectly.
    Correct sentence: He can’t be dishonest. He is above board.
    Meanings of the other options:
    • (a) On: used for position/surface; not used with “board” to mean honesty (पर/ऊपर)
    • (b) Off: away from; indicates separation; not idiomatic here (से दूर/हटा हुआ)
    • (d) Upon: formal “on”; still not correct with “board” in this meaning (पर)
