Tap to reveal answer
"Awry" can act as an adjective or an adverb and means "away from the appropriate, planned, or expected course," so we need to pick out a word that means something like "away from the expected course." While "wiry" sounds similar to "awry," "wiry" means "resembling wire in form and texture." Since "wiry" does not mean the same thing as "awry," it cannot be the correct answer. "Amiss," however, means "not quite right; inappropriate or out of place" as an adjective and "wrongly or inappropriately" as an adverb. Because "amiss" is the answer choice closest in meaning to "awry," it is the correct answer.
