Dear Student,
Sly means deceiving people in a clever way in order to get what you want.
Example-
He's a sly old devil - I wouldn't trust him with my money.
Conservative means not usually liking or trusting change, especially sudden change.
Example-
Older people tend to be more conservative and a bit suspicious of anything new.
