Question 1 Report

Choose the option nearest in meaning to the underlined word(s).Practicing medicine is not as lucrative as many people think?
Answer Details
The option nearest in meaning to the underlined words "think" is "assume." In the sentence, the word "lucrative" means profitable or moneymaking, and the phrase "not as" suggests that people have a perception that practicing medicine is highly profitable. The word "assume" means to suppose something without verification or to take something for granted, which is the closest in meaning to "think" in this context. Therefore, the correct option is "assume," as it conveys the idea that many people believe that practicing medicine is very profitable without having verified the actual facts.
