Explanation:

In the excerpt presented, the word "articulate" is used as a verb to show the door Jared and Marie were looking for needed to move in two directions because they needed to "pass more easily between the kitchen and dining room", this is specifically explained in "a door that would articulate in two directions". According to this, the word "articulate" likely means "to bend" or "hinge" because only if the door "bends" in two directions as Jared and Marie want they would be able to pass or move freely between the two rooms. Besides this, the word can be replaced by the original word without modifying the meaning of the sentence as "a door that would bend in two directions..."
