If people are laughing at you, making fun of you, and acting as if you're worthless, they're treating you with . is mean and attacking — it's a form of contempt.

i also think the correct answer here would be b.

covert: hidden or secret

candid: truthful and straightforward

what i get from these phrases is covert means undercover or underground and that's where the flower is in april. on the other hand, may is the month where flowers start to bloom and thats the reason why candid is being used as a word to describe the blossoming period of a flower.

hope this answer you.

is this multiple choice?
