Which term means "To begin or put into practice"?

• A. Initiate
• B. Insidious
• C. Latent
• D. Lethargic

Answer: (A)

To begin or put into practice means to initiate something—to start it, launch it, or set it in motion. This word is used as a verb for actions like starting a project, beginning a process, or formally introducing a new program. For example, you might say, “The school will initiate a new recycling program next month,” or “The company started by initiating a pilot project.”

The other terms describe different ideas: insidious refers to something harmful that grows gradually and secretly; latent means present but not yet visible or active; lethargic describes someone who is sluggish or lacking energy. So, the option that conveys starting or putting into practice is the one that properly captures the idea of beginning.
