Choose the word most similar in meaning to the given word:
Educe
Options:
(A) Exert
(B) Educate
(C) Extract
(D) Extend
Official Answer Key:
C
Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation
‘Educe’ means to draw out or elicit something latent — i.e. to ‘extract’ (bring forth) a quality, response, or conclusion. ‘Educate’ (B) is a common false-friend distractor sharing the same root but meaning ‘to instruct’, not ‘to draw out’. ‘Exert’ (A) means to apply force/effort, and ‘extend’ (D) means to stretch or prolong — neither matches the meaning of educe. Hence (C) Extract is correct.
