How does saruman learn that the ring has been found?
a.
gandalf tells him.
b.
he sees it in a dream.
c.
he sees it in the palantír.
d.
the spies he sent to the shire tell him.

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.
