   Answer & explanation

   Answer: B) Elucidate

   Answer: Elucidate
   Explanation:
   The word "Illuminate" means to make something clear or explain it well. The closest synonym given in the options is "Elucidate," which means to explain or make something clear.
   Other options:

   Answer & explanation

   Answer: C) Obscure

   Correct Answer: Option 3 — "Obscure"
   "Elucidate" = to make (something) clear; to explain; to clarify; to shed light on; to make easier to understand; to illustrate.
   "Obscure" = to make unclear or difficult to understand; to hide or conceal; to make less visible or comprehensible; difficult to understand; to darken or muddy. ✓
   Elucidate (to clarify, explain, shed light on) ↔ Obscure (to confuse, hide, make unclear) — direct opposites. ✓
   Why other options are wrong:
   Option 1 'Clarify' = to make (a statement or situation) less confused and more clearly comprehensible. SYNONYM of elucidate, not its antonym. ✗
   Option 2 'Explain' = to make (an idea, situation, or problem) clear; to describe. Anoth
