Verbal question / answer is not intuitive to me


Why is the right answer not decline?

Correct one is congeal apparently.

Thanks!

Congeal means to change. There is no evidence of sentiment decline. Hence, congeal is a safe option.

, → support
look to the right of comma → key word is united front(which is support)
By applying math strategy, the blank should be a positive word equivalent to united front.
I guessed the blank as coalesce( united front )

According to google congeal means coalesce in definition
So I choose congeal.
I hope this helps you @Matthias

Hi,

Here’s my 2 cents, over what User514 responded.

As it is ‘support’, 2nd part’s ‘prospect of united front’ loosely can be ‘coming together’.
With it, fracture, capitulate, dissemble, decline - doesn’t look correct; and other side ‘Congeal’ is rooted or prefixed with ‘con’ meaning (coming) together, like in ‘confluence’ = flowing together; ‘congress’ = progressing together; ‘consistent’ = loosely, structure together…

Thanks,
Aarpi
