Question

Which answer choice means the same as commence as it is used in this sentence from the fourth paragraph of the passage? A) begin B) disappear C) fight D) stop

Answer 1

Answer: It's indeed A) begin

Explanation:

None of the other options could be used, even if the context were different. The verb "commence" has the following definition: to have or make a beginning. It's a synonym to the following: begin, start, open, embark, kick off, and launch, among others.

Thus, the sentence could be rewritten as: "All functions of your body not needed for the struggle about to begin are shut down."
