Correct Answer: TENDER


Solution : Given:

Option 1: alludes

Option 2: deceives

Option 3: embellishes

Option 4: apprehends

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Deceives: This means to mislead or give a false impression, which is not synonymous with implying or suggesting.
  • Embellishes: This means to decorate or enhance with exaggerated details, not conveying the idea of indirect suggestion.
  • Apprehends: This means to understand or grasp, but it doesn't capture the sense of indirect communication present in the word "implies".

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The text alludes to several themes that need closer examination."
