Which word means 'first'?

• A. Injure
• B. Insight
• C. Initial
• D. Insert

Answer: (C)

Understanding which word conveys the idea of "first" relies on recognizing how we describe beginnings. The word that fits best is initial, because it directly means happening at the beginning or earliest in a sequence. You’d say the initial step of a process, or the initial chapter of a book, to indicate it comes first.

Injure means to harm someone, so it has nothing to do with order or beginning. Insight means a deep understanding or a sudden realization, not the position in a sequence. Insert means to place something into something else, which describes action rather than time or order.
