Correct Answer: alludes


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Imply means to suggest, indicate, or express something indirectly without explicitly stating it. Alludes is the appropriate synonym, as it means to suggest or indirectly refer to something.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Deceives: This means to mislead or give a false impression, which is not synonymous with implying or suggesting.
  • Embellishes: This means to decorate or enhance with exaggerated details, not conveying the idea of indirect suggestion.
  • Apprehends: This means to understand or grasp, but it doesn't capture the sense of indirect communication present in the word "implies".

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The text alludes to several themes that need closer examination."
