The Time Heist will require skill, courage, and luck to succeed. Doctor Strange used the Time Stone to peer into millions of alternate futures to find a path for the Avengers to defeat Thanos. After viewing 14,000,605 different ways events could play out, he only finds one path for the Avengers to restore the universe.
Despite this grim forecast, the Avengers remain undaunted. Although the superheroes only have an INFINITESIMAL or almost zero chance of success, they vow to do “whatever it takes” to defeat Thanos.
SAT test writers are aware that INFINITESIMAL is a difficult word. They also know that students often confuse INFINITESIMAL with INESTIMABLE. INFINITESIMAL means very tiny and almost zero. In contrast, INESTIMABLE means too great to calculate.
Needless to say, don’t expect to see a vocabulary in context question featuring the Avengers trying to overcome INFINITESIMAL odds. Instead, be prepared for scientists realizing that the number of invertebrates in a specific zone in the Pacific Ocean is too great to count and is therefore INESTIMABLE!
INFINITESIMAL – very tiny; almost zero
INESTIMABLE – too great to calculate
