British avoiding showing intelligence? Correct (5)
I believe the answer is:
right
'correct' is the definition.
(right can mean correct)
'british avoiding showing intelligence?' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'avoiding' suggests deleting specific letters.
'showing intelligence?' becomes 'bright' (bright can mean clever).
'bright' with 'b' taken away is 'RIGHT'.
(Other definitions for right that I've seen before include "Correct; appropriate" , "Complete" , "correctly" , "A person is entitled to it" , "straight" .)
