What is the meaning of the terms " to elude" and" to allude" respectively? |
to refer to indirectly, to escape to escape, to refer to indirectly to exclude, to attract to attract, to exclude |
to escape, to refer to indirectly |
The answer is ☀ to escape, to refer to indirectly.
The two words are often confused because they sound similar. However, they have different meanings and are used in different contexts. Elude is used to describe the act of escaping or avoiding something. For example, you might say "The prisoner eluded the guards" or "The truth eluded her." Allude is used to describe the act of referring to something indirectly. For example, you might say "The speaker alluded to the war" or "The poem alluded to the history of the country." The other options are incorrect. Exclude means to not include something, and attract means to draw something towards you. |
