Question

Considering it’s prefix, syntax and context, what does indeterminate mean in this excerpt from "the garden of forking paths

Answer 1

Answer:

Considering it's prefix, syntax and context, indeterminate means Overwhelming.

Explanation:

The following excerpt is taken from "The Garden of Forking Paths"

"...........The publication was senseless. The book is an indeterminate heap of contradictory drafts. I examined it once: in the third chapter the hero dies, in the fourth he is alive........."

Usually the word indeterminate means something that is not exactly known or defined. A thing that is vague and not clear is called indeterminate. However, in this excerpt, it means Overwhelming, which means it is so great that it cannot be determined.
