Which term means to suggest indirectly?

• A. Hygiene
• B. Imply
• C. Impending
• D. Gastrointestinal

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is identifying a word that means to suggest something without saying it outright. To imply is to convey or hint a meaning indirectly, using clues or contexts rather than a direct statement. For example, if someone keeps glancing at the clock and sighing during a meeting, you might say their behavior implies they’re unhappy with the schedule. The other terms don’t fit: hygiene is about cleanliness, impending means something is about to happen, and gastrointestinal relates to the digestive system. So imply is the best choice because it captures the act of suggesting indirectly.
