Choose the option that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word(s) It is amazing how Grace circumvented the rules.

  1. evaded ✓
  2. facilitated
  3. created
  4. retracted
Explanation

“Circumvent” means to find a way around something, especially a rule. “Evaded” has the same meaning.

“Facilitated” means made easier, which is different. “Created” and “retracted” (withdrew) do not fit.
