Which word means 'extreme'?

• A. Radical
• B. Subvert
• C. Apt
• D. Cordial

Answer: (A)

Extreme describes something drastic or far beyond the ordinary. The word that best captures that sense is radical, because it’s commonly used to describe drastic, fundamental changes or ideas—things that are on the far end of a scale. Subvert means to undermine or overthrow, not to describe degree. Apt means appropriate or likely, and cordial means warm and friendly.
