Which option best defines ensure?

• A. To Guarantee.
• B. To Secure or Make Safe.
• C. To Make Sure That Something Happens Or Happened.
• D. To Guess.

Answer: (C)

The main idea being tested is the sense of ensure as making certain that something happens or is the case. The best choice expresses this exact meaning: to make sure that something happens or happened. It captures the idea of taking steps or arrangements so the desired outcome occurs or has occurred, rather than simply promising it or focusing on safety.

While close, the idea of guaranteeing is a bit stronger and more formal—it implies a definite promise, often with a guarantee of outcome. Securing or making safe leans toward protection or safety rather than ensuring a particular event or result. Guessing has no relation to certainty or planned action, so it doesn’t fit.

For example: We will ensure the project is completed on time by coordinating tasks and monitoring progress. This shows actively making certain the outcome through actions.
