Question

Everything that he did was open and :

• A. above all
• B. above on
• C. above board
• D. above in

Answer 1

Answer:

C. above board

• Above board → means honest, legal, and open (without any secrecy or deception). This pairs perfectly with "open" in the sentence.

• Above all → means most importantly (e.g., Above all, be kind). Does not fit here.

• Above on → not a standard English phrase.

• Above in → not a standard English phrase.
