In each of the following questions, a word has been
given and used in three statements. You are supposed to identify which of the statement/s use/s the word correctly and mark that as your answer. ELUSIVE I. Happiness can sometimes feel elusive , as individuals search for fulfillment in different aspects of life. II. The scientist dedicated years to the study of the elusive subatomic particle, finally making a groundbreaking discovery. III. The author's elusive references to classical mythology in the novel added a layer of depth for readers familiar with ancient stories.Solution
Elusive means difficult to grasp, find, or understand. I. This statement uses "elusive" accurately. Happiness is often described as intangible and challenging to pin down, making it fit the definition of elusive. II. The scientist's pursuit of a subatomic particle, which are notoriously difficult to study and observe, also aligns with the meaning of elusive. III. References to classical mythology can be subtle and require background knowledge. However, "elusive" might not be the strongest choice here. "Allusive" or "indirect" might be more appropriate to describe these references.
