Quote:
underlies, exaltation The sentence suggests that the theme of the Cinderella story is the foundation of most folk stories; thus, this basic plot and the “ultimate triumph” or exaltation (happiness or raising up) of the main character underlie them. Neither undermines (weakens) or underplays (minimizes) fits the context. You also can eliminate extirpation (the complete removal or destruction) and exhortation(a strong urging) from Blank 2 because neither fits the concept of the “ultimate triumph.”
