Far from being the corporate world because

Cydney Seigerman, Magoosh Tutor

Hi Yixiu Shao,

Happy to help :) The phrase "far from being" indicates that we have a shift sentence, or that the second part of the sentence will contrast the first part. What are we comparing? Well, we're comparing the word in the blank in the first part to "the growing role" being played by researchers mentioned in the second part. We therefore want a word that opposes the idea of having an expanding presence in the corporate world. "Immure" means to imprison or build a wall around, which does not fit the context of the sentence. A better option (and the correct answer) is "banished from", as getting removed from the corporate world directly contrasts the idea of becoming more integrated into that world.

Hope this clears up your doubts :)
