Can the Avengers defeat Thanos and reverse his catastrophic “snap?” Of course! The Avengers devise a very complex plan that involves traveling through the Quantum Realm to retrieve all six Infinity Stones. They will then create a new Infinity Gauntlet to restore the vanished population.
Got it! But wait! Known as the “Time Heist,” the Avenger’s bold plan is PREDICATED or dependent upon their ability to devise a machine capable of transporting them through the Quantum Realm. No problem! Bruce Banner and Tony Stark use their genius-level intellects to create a working time machine.
There is a near zero percent chance you will encounter a vocabulary in context passage about the “Time Heist.” But there is a very strong possibility you will encounter a difficult passage that uses PREDICATED as a correct answer. For example, a passage about the 2007 – 2010 financial crisis explained that the ability of a country’s central bank to respond to the crisis was PREDICATED upon its use of complex financial mechanisms called swap lines.
PREDICATED – dependent and thus contingent upon a specific idea, condition, or assumption
