Which word means to express or indicate something indirectly?

• A. Implicate
• B. Implicit
• C. Imply
• D. Impose

Answer: (C)

The word that means to express or indicate something indirectly is imply. When you imply something, you hint at a meaning without stating it outright, letting others infer the rest. For example, saying “That project was tougher than expected” can imply you’re asking for more time or help without saying it directly. The other words don’t fit this exact action: implicate means to connect someone to a crime or wrongdoing, implicit is an adjective describing something understood without being stated, and impose means to force something on someone. So the best match for indicating indirectly is imply.
