Example Question #2601 : Ssat Upper Level Verbal
Select the answer choice that is closest in meaning to the word in capital letters.
CORROBORATE
Incite
Validate
Acclaim
Accelerate
Evaluate
Validate
"Corroborate" is a verb which means "confirm or give support to a statement, theory, or finding," so we need to find another verb which means "confirm." While "acclaim" might seem like the correct answer, it actually means "praise enthusiastically and publicly," and doesn't quite match the meaning of "confirm" that we're looking for. "Validate," on the other hand, means "check or prove the validity or accuracy of something," and since it is the closest in meaning to "corroborate," it is the correct answer.
