Select the correct one-word substitute for the given group of words. A remedy or solution believed to cure all diseases or resolve all problems.
Panacea
Panacea means a universal remedy — something supposed to cure every disease or solve every difficulty (from the Greek goddess Panakeia, “all-healing”).
Palliative relieves symptoms without curing the cause; succor means help or relief in time of distress; elixir is a magical or medicinal potion (often for prolonging life), not specifically a cure for all ills and all problems.
Only panacea carries the sense of curing all diseases and resolving all problems.
Hence, the answer is Panacea.
