GRE Question of the Day

Answer

  1. Archetypal
  2. Circumvent

For Blank (i), archetypal is the best answer because it means a typical example of something. Amenable means yielding and antediluvian means very old, so these answers are incorrect.
 
For Blank (ii), circumvent is the correct answer because it means to avoid or escape. Coalesce means to fuse together or blend, so this doesn’t make sense in the context of the sentence. Encompass is also incorrect because it means to surround.

Review the question
