Question

3 of 4
read the sentences from the section \how does balance work?\ while obviously associated with hearing, the inner ear is also the shelter for balance. it has a labyrinthine structure, made up of a series of fluid - filled canals and ducts. which word, if it were to replace \labyrinthine\ in the second sentence above, would alter the meaning of the sentence?
○ elaborate
○ baffling
○ complicated
○ intricate

Explanation:

"Labyrinthine" means having a complex structure like a labyrinth. "Elaborate" (detailed, complex), "complicated" (complex, difficult to understand), and "intricate" (complex, detailed) are synonyms. "Baffling" means confusing, which changes the meaning as it focuses on causing confusion rather than the complex structure.

Answer:

baffling
