Back to the question.

The critics mistook the her wrote in a superficial and silly way, meanwhile is exactly trhe contrary.

I.E: her poetry seems silly or cunning but indeed it is not.

A and D are the best of the bill

Because is the only other synonym among the other answer choices to pair with A.

On the GRE exam this is the trick: find the right word and its synonym and you will get the right answer.

Carcass

Isn't deceit and cunning synonyms? I look it in Webster's dictionary and both are synonyms.

Why isn't the answer?

This question is manipulated in the wrong way. Also the answer choices are wrong

The question is located here. https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/early-cri ... -3152.html

This post is achieved.
Ask if something is still unclear in the proper discussion
