1 unmarried: This is the right choice. "Single" in this context means "unmarried". Example: "I'm 46 years old, I'm still single, and I'm very jealous of all my married friends".
1 famous: This is incorrect. A well-known person or a celebrity is "famous". They are very rarely single, even when they are very ugly!
1 engaged: This is incorrect. To be "engaged" means to be to soon be married, to be someone's fiancé or fiancée. You are not "single" if you are "engaged" (even if you are very drunk!)
2 assertion: This is correct. An "assertion" means the same thing as a "claim", or "a statement of something which you believe". Example: "Philip claims to have slept with over 600 women, but we don't believe him".
2 complaint: Incorrect. A complaint is what you make when you are unhappy about something, for example, the service provided by a company.
2 proof: This is not the right choice. "Proof" is evidence of something. A scientists need proof of a theory before they can show it to be correct. The verb is "to prove".
3 danger: This is correct. The terms "threat" and "danger" share a similar meaning, and are used to refer to a "menace" or "bad event in the future". To "pose a threat" is to "present a danger". Example: "Global warming poses a serious threat to the planet Earth".
3 illness: This is not the right answer. An "illness" is a "sickness" of the body or mind. It is not synonymous with "threat".
3 handicap: This is not the right answer. A "handicap" is a "disability" or an "inability to do something", which does not share a similar meaning with "threat".
4 release: This is correct. A "release" in this context means the same as an "outlet" - an "exit" or a "way of letting something out". Here's another example: "My paintings provide me with an outlet for my creativity, and prevent me from going insane".
4 home: This is the wrong answer. Home is where you live: it is your "house", "bungalow", "apartment", etc. This does not share a similar meaning with "outlet".
4 cure: This is not the right answer. A "cure" is something that makes an illness or disease better. It does not mean the same as "outlet".

Isabelle refers to Delavigne's groundbreaking work.
Which of the following terms is closest in meaning to "groundbreaking" in this context?
Which of the following terms is closest in meaning to "groundbreaking" in this context?
"Elaborate" and "groundbreaking" don't share the same meaning. An "elaborate (dance)" is complex or complicated, while "groundbreaking" work is pioneering or original.
This is correct. "Groundbreaking" is synonymous with the terms "innovative", "original" or "pioneering" in this context. Example: She was awarded the Nobel Prize for her groundbreaking work on the sexual habits of the earthworm. This term literally describes the "earth" or "soil" which is "broken" to lay the foundations for a new building. In this letter, Isabelle writes that she was particularly interested by Horatio's groundbreaking work.
"Groundbreaking" certainly sounds dangerous, but the term refers to original or pioneering work, and not "dangerous" work, which is unsafe or poses a risk.
"Groundbreaking" certainly sounds dangerous, but the term refers to original or pioneering work, and not "destructive" work, which causes damage or "destroys" things..
