Answers for verbal problems with no solution videos

GRE Verbal Problem Solving

How can I see the solution to verbal problems if there are no solution videos for a question?
P.S. Tell me the answer to this question, multiple options are correct, I keep getting it wrong and I can’t proceed further without knowing the correct options.

The botanical garden, once a mosaic of diverse species, now seems ________ after the introduction of non-native plants, which overshadow the native flora.

compromised

endangered

colluded

homogenized

tempered

deprecated

Hi, sure thing

What did you pick and why?

I thought compromised and colluded made sense, compromised as in non-native plants were entering the same area as the native ones, and colluded regarding overshadow. I thought homogenized and tempered also make sense if we’re talking about the representation of both native and non-native plants equalizing in the botanical garden, endangered also makes sense stating that the diversity of the botanical garden is endangered on including non-native plants, similarly deprecate in this sentence could also be perceived as the inclusion of non-native plants “belittles” the native flora.

Overall, I’m a little confused but my strongest choices were compromised and colluded, or the pair of homogenized and tempered

p.s. verbal isn’t my strong suit

update:

the answer is compromised and endagered

Okay, so the first thing I’d recommend is following the pairing strategy.

The pairs here would be compromised, and endangered, these both mean to put something or someone at risk of danger

Collude basically means to work with someone in secret to do something bad

Homogenize and temper could be a pair, but not a strong one, if we look at homogenize as emphasizing uniformity, and temper as emphasizing moderation

The better and clearer pair would be Compromise and Endanger

There’s no other real pair

When we read the sentence, this pair makes sense as the correct answer, to fill the blank and complete the sentence that says; non-native plants overshadow the native diverse plants, putting them at risk

yes, I figured, for some reason, I kept thinking that colluded meant clouded or overshadowed so I thought the answer would be a set of compromised, endangered, and colluded.

Thanks!!
