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.
