Beginning to exist; recently formed or developed
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. nascent
- Nascent is a suitable option.
- Nascent is a term that means "beginning to exist or develop," which perfectly fits the description provided.
- Compared to other options:
- Herald: A person or object that is believed to be a sign that something is about to happen. That is not in accordance with the meaning of "beginning to exist."
- Blasphemy: It is the act of speaking sacrilegiously about God or other sacred subjects; it has nothing to do with something that is beginning to exist.
- Knave: A knave is a guy who is dishonest or unscrupulous. It is inappropriate given the situation.
