Question

define the underlined word as it used in the sentence. i am trying very hard to tap into my inner genius during this project.

Explanation:

In the sentence "I am trying very hard to tap into my inner genius during this project", the word "tap" in the phrase "tap into" means to make use of or draw upon (a resource, ability, etc.). So we need to define "tap" as it functions in this phrasal verb context, focusing on the meaning of accessing or utilizing one's inner genius (a personal ability or resource here).

Answer:

In this sentence, "tap" (as part of "tap into") means to make use of or draw upon (one's inner genius, which is a personal ability or resource).
