My best friend ____ the truth from me, not wanting to hurt my feelings

blocked
covered
insulated
shielded

Came up with this question for my fifth graders. What do you think the answer is?

Shielded?

reply

Yes. Let me think again. Maybe the options are too close in meaning

reply

Please do more of these daily. It's fun.

Was thinking of shielded.

Light is blocked. Does that make sense?

reply

Shielded

reply

insulated and shielded are directional, and it isn't the truth that needs protection, but me.

But blocked and covered don't sound right, either.

kept or withheld?

reply

I meant the answer to be shielded.
Was thinking of insulated as a distractor because insulated against heat
