"Course" means a route or path. You may have heard this word before; for example, a "golf course" is a series of holes that golfers play in a particular order, and, more metaphorically, a "course of action" is a plan of what steps to take in response to a specific event. While a course might be displayed on a map, "map" does not mean the same thing that "course" does. Similarly, while a train might follow a certain course, that of its tracks, "train" and "course" do not mean the same thing either. The answer choice closest in meaning to "course" is "route," so "route" is the correct answer.

“Anarchy” is a situation of confusion and wild behavior in which the people in a country, group, or organization are not controlled by rules or laws. “Lawlessness” is the best answer choice. “Lawlessness” is an antonym of “lawfulness.” To be “flawless” means to be perfect. “Awfulness” is something horrible.

A clue is defined as a piece of evidence or information used in the detection of a crime or solving of a mystery.
