Correct Answer: RevealYour Answer: D

Explanation

The word Disclose and the word Reveal share the same central sense in the context tested by the question, although usage, tone and grammatical form should still be checked before substituting one for the other. A synonym is not required to be identical in every possible sentence; it must preserve the intended meaning in the relevant context. Here, replacing Disclose with Reveal keeps the core idea intact without reversing the tone or changing the action, quality or state expressed by the target word. The alternatives Ease, Exonerate and Enchant do not express the same central meaning as Disclose. If the sentence retains its essential meaning and grammatical structure, the synonym relationship is supported. Learners should revise Disclose together with Reveal, a brief usage cue and the contrasting distractors.

  • Check the part of speech of Disclose and Reveal before sentence substitution.
