Which of the following words is synonymous with 'elucidate'?

Clarify
Conceal
Complicate
Ignore

The correct answer is: Clarify

The word 'elucidate' means to make something clear or to explain it, which is aligned with the meaning of 'clarify.' Both terms involve removing confusion or ambiguity, allowing for a better understanding of a subject. In contrast, the other options do not share this meaning: 'conceal' implies hiding something, 'complicate' suggests making something more difficult to understand, and 'ignore' means to pay no attention to something. Therefore, 'clarify' is the correct synonym that reflects the intention of 'elucidate' by emphasizing clarity and explanation.
