In this case, it means the same as "release" or "let out."

Ha! That's a friend of mine who lent a hand with narration. He also wanted try out a different layout.

Question link: https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/unfortunately-his-damaging-attacks-on-t...

"Unfortunately, his damaging attacks on the ramifications of the economic policy have been (i) _______ by his wholehearted acceptance of that policy's underlying assumptions."

The sentence tells us that:
- The person is AGAINST the ramifications of the policy
- The person is FOR the policy's underlying assumptions

There's some discontinuity here: the person strongly favors the policy's assumptions, BUT he's against the policy's ramifications.

So, we can say that being AGAINST the policy's ramifications UNDERMINES the fact that he's FOR the policy's assumptions.

Does that help?

Question link: https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/the-limits-of-the-show-however-are-less...

The limits of the show, however, are less consequential than the limits of its host. Her approach to the family crises described by the guests is stunningly (i)_____; it's the narrowness of her repertoire that leads her to (ii)_____ the important questions, not the constraints of the medium.

The first sentence says that the show is bad, but the host is even worse.
The first blank describes the host's approach to the family crises.
Now that we know the host is awful, we need a negative word for the first blank.
FARSIGHTED and PERCEPTIVE are both positive words. This leaves only SIMPLEMINDED.

I can see how you might feel that STUNNINGLY might set up a contrast. However, in this context, it's synonymous with VERY, SHOCKINGLY, INCREDIBLY, etc
