Now that i realized the full extent of your ................... I am afraid it will be impossible for me to ever trust you again

A. dubiousness
B. corruption
C. deceptiveness
D. duplicity

Correct Answer: D. duplicity

Explanation

Let's break down each option:

• A. dubiousness: This refers to the state of being doubtful or questionable. If someone realizes the full extent of your *dubiousness*, it means they see how questionable or unreliable you are. This could certainly lead to a lack of trust.

• B. corruption: This refers to dishonest or fraudulent conduct, often involving abuse of power or moral decay. While corruption destroys trust, it's a specific type of wrongdoing. The sentence is quite general.

• C. deceptiveness: This refers to the quality of being deceptive; a tendency to mislead or be untruthful. Realizing the full extent of someone's deceptiveness would absolutely make it impossible to trust them.

• D. duplicity: This refers to deceitfulness; double-dealing; acting in two different ways at different times with the intention to deceive. It implies being two-faced or having a hidden agenda. Realizing the full extent of someone's duplicity means understanding how consistently they've been dishonest or hypocritical, making trust impossible.

All four options relate to a lack of trust. However, deceptiveness and duplicity are the most direct causes for the complete breakdown of trust implied by impossible for me to ever trust you again.

Between deceptiveness and duplicity:

• Deceptiveness is a more general term for being misleading.

• Duplicity specifically highlights the *two-faced* nature, the deliberate pretense or double-dealing, which often implies a deeper, more calculated betrayal of trust. The phrase full extent often points to realizing a pervasive, deliberate pattern, which duplicity fits very well.

Considering the strong statement impossible for me to ever trust you again, duplicity often carries a heavier connotation of betrayal and a complete undoing of one's perception of another's character.

The best fit is D. duplicity.

Now that I realized the full extent of your duplicity, I am afraid it will be impossible for me to ever trust you again.
