Which word is a synonym for 'articulate'?

Express
Confuse
Withhold
Ignore

The correct answer is: Express

The choice of 'express' as a synonym for 'articulate' is accurate because both words convey the idea of effectively conveying thoughts, ideas, or feelings. 'Articulate' often refers to the clarity and fluency with which someone communicates, meaning to express oneself coherently and understandably. In this context, to express is to communicate thoughts or information clearly, aligning perfectly with the definition of articulate. On the other hand, the other words—'confuse', 'withhold', and 'ignore'—carry meanings that are contrary to the idea of clear communication. 'Confuse' suggests a lack of clarity, 'withhold' implies not sharing information, and 'ignore' means to pay no attention to something, all of which do not align with the essence of articulating thoughts or feelings clearly.
