I got the first blank right, didn’t understand the explanation to the second blank. Pls help
This is a double possibility. “Energetic work” could either support an assertion that the two movements were similar, or undermine an assertion that the two movements were opposite. We can choose support for the first blank but we don’t have any word synonymous with “similar” so we go with undermines and inimical.
Yes, I agree with you. But doesn’t inimical mean hostile/unfriendly, I felt like diffuse should’ve been a better choice since it would mean that the movements were unrelated or very different from each other. How can a movement be unfriendly?
Inimical does mean hostile or unfriendly but it also means something that’s contrary. Also, if you look up the definition of hostile on google dictionary, it means opposed or adverse.
Moreover, diffuse does not make sense here cuz it means something that is scattered or spread out. I would eliminate it by using “usage” strategy.
