Insight
Coalesce
Imply
Anoint
Insight
“Acumen” is a noun that refers to the sharpness of mind and describes someone who can make quick and insightful decisions; therefore the best available synonym is “insight” which means perceptiveness. For clarification, "imply" means to suggest without directly expressing; "coalesce" means to merge or bring things together.
Example Question #2 : Nouns
After seeing how unstable the monorail Roy had built was, the townspeople had no doubt that they'd been fooled by a charlatan.
Charleston
Fraud
Haberdasher
Schoolteacher
Fraud
Well, let's start by eliminating the noun "Charleston," which sounds more like a dance or a place on a map than the right answer! "Fraud" is the closest in meaning to "charlatan," a person who pretends to be something he or she is not in order to trick people out of their money. The other answer choices have completely unrelated meanings.
