Hello, teachers!!
Susan is a very smart student. She somehow seems to know how to get around problems.
----->
What does get around mean in the sentence above?
I looked up in the dictionary and found some meanings.
However, I cannot find the appropriate meaning.
Thank you in advance. |

In that case you raised, "get around(especially in American English)" equals "get round" meaning " to deal with a problem successfully".
Hope that helps.
