Which word means 'to enter a foreign country with the purpose of permanently living there'?

• A. Immigration
• B. Implement
• C. Immigrate
• D. Impact

Answer: (C)

Moving to a country with the aim of settling there permanently is described by immigrate. This verb specifically captures entering a new country to live there, which is the key action in the scenario. It’s different from immigrations’ noun form, immigration, which refers to the process or the act in general, and from the noun for a person who moves to a new country, an immigrant. The other options don’t fit because they relate to causing something to happen (implement) or to the effect of something (impact), not to the act of moving to another country to live. Example: She decided to immigrate to Canada to start a new life.
