Question
Each of the following questions has a paragraph with one italicized word that does not make sense. Choose the most appropriate replacement for that word from the options given below the paragraph.
Magic at this level may be somewhat slower in response than the magic of the upper register. Its action, however, is angrithey, like the gradual encroachment of a root system which will split rocks. Magic at this level will take a concerted effort to halt once it is well begun and will be difficult to redirect once invoked.

Answer: Option D
:
D
Option (D)
Going by the simile of the root system mentioned in the same sentence, we can tell that the word we are looking for means unstoppable. Therefore ‘immutable’ (which means unchangeable), ‘impregnable’ (which means resistant to attack) and ‘impractical’ (which means not useful) cannot fit here at all. Though ‘implacable’ and ‘inexorable’ are synonymous in some contexts, the former cannot fit here, as it means impossible to appease, which cannot be applied to an abstract notion like the action of magic. Only ‘inexora ble’, meaning relentless, fits here.
