Explanation for Question 24 From the Reading Section on the 2021 May Sat (International)

Hey guys. So question 24 says as using line 52 curved, 2 most nearly means blank. Let's go buy, 3 find 50 to reread it and let's replace our own word with curved. 4 So this says when the two signals 5 were curved, the premaxillary bones became round and never fused as in, 6 uh, bird dinosaurs. Relatives does this thing in their experiment when they curved, 7 um, the two signals from, 8 um, uh, Wnt and FGF eight, 9 this happened in my curve. It seems to be saying like stopped or prevented 10 something like that. So, um, 11 we need to find which of these, you know, is dealing with like saying 12 like these, these, um, things were, 13 were stopped. Well, it's not invaded these, 14 these things weren't, um, 15 evaded. They were, uh, they were stopped from doing their thing. 16 They were curved as suppressed. 17 And that seems to fit in directly with saying stopped or like, 18 you know, like, like limiting them from doing it. 19 So that seems to fit in directly incurred is just connecting something to something 20 else. That's not what it's saying either. And contained while somewhat similar to suppressed. 21 It's not about containing it. It's about stopping it or not allowing it to 22 do what it's trying to do, which is different from just saying that someone's 23 contained in an area is instead saying more closely saying it's suppressed 24 and stopped. So for that reason, B is going to be the correct answer.
