Problem 3 - Entrance Test

Which sentence exhibits the most precise and sophisticated vocabulary to describe the act of avoiding or evading something?

A. He dodged the question skillfully.B. He eschewed answering the question altogether.C. He ignored the question, pretending not to hear.D. He bypassed the question with a quick reply.

Correct: B

Option B, 'He eschewed answering the question altogether,' utilizes the word 'eschewed,' which implies a deliberate and principled avoidance, representing the most sophisticated vocabulary choice in this context. 'Dodged' is too informal, 'ignored' implies a lack of acknowledgement, and 'bypassed' suggests a simple circumvention rather than a conscious decision to abstain.
