i have come to know of your hole and corner method of dealing with people. A. strict B. servile C. secret D. suspicious

The correct answer is C. secret.

The phrase “hole and corner” means “secretive or underhanded.” It is often used to describe methods of doing things that are hidden from view or that are not done in a straightforward manner. In the context of the question, the speaker is accusing the listener of using secret or underhanded methods to deal with people.

The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the meaning of the phrase “hole and corner.” Option A, strict, means “demanding or severe.” Option B, servile, means “subservient or obedient.” Option D, suspicious, means “having or showing doubt or suspicion.”

Here are some examples of how the phrase “hole and corner” can be used in a sentence:

• The police are investigating the politician’s hole and corner dealings.
• The company was accused of using hole and corner methods to avoid paying taxes.
• The deal was done in a hole and corner fashion, with no one else being informed.
