The 370 GRE Words You Must Know - Passage 01

In the labyrinth of existence, the ebb and flow of life's tapestry, one finds a symphony of words that dance upon the stage of expression. Let us explore the realm of vocabulary, where the abate (to diminish in intensity) of intensity intertwines with the aberrant (diverging from the standard type) divergences from standard conventions.

Abjure (to reject or renounce) the shackles of mediocrity and abscond (to leave secretly, evading detection) from the mundane. Embrace the acumen (keen judgment and perception) of keen judgment, admonishing (scolding or advising firmly) those who wallow in the depths of ignorance. Beware the adulteration (contamination or making impure by introducing inferior elements) of truth, for it taints the very essence of our being.

Advocate (to recommend, support, or advise) for the aesthetic (concerned with the nature of beauty and art), where beauty and art coalesce, becoming a sanctuary of respite amidst affectations (fake or artificial behavior, often meant to impress or conceal the truth) and pretense. Let us aggrandize (enlarge or increase, especially wealth, power, reputation) our aspirations, with alacrity (promptness and eagerness) as our guiding lights.

Alleviate (to relieve a problem or ease a burden) the burdens that plague our weary souls, a balm to the wounds inflicted by life's hardships. Amalgamate (to combine or mix together) the fragments of our fragmented existence, forging unity amidst the chaos.

Amidst this sea of words, we find ourselves adrift, lost in the currents of ambiguity (unclear, open to multiple interpretations). The ambivalent (having mixed or contradictory feelings about someone or something) hearts yearn for clarity, grappling with the complexities of conflicting emotions.

But fear not, for through the maze of language, we shall find solace and understanding. Each word, a brushstroke upon the canvas of comprehension, illuminating the intricacies of human experience.
