Question

eminent:

1. (adjective) of high standing, well - known

immanent:

1. (adjective) within something, innate

imminent:

1. (adjective) about to occur, pending

read the sentence.
the fire burning out of control put the neighborhood in ______ danger.
which word best completes the sentence?
○ emanate
○ immanent
○ eminent
○ imminent

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each word:

• "emanate" is a verb (to emit), so it can't be used here (we need an adjective).
• "immanent" means innate/within, which doesn't fit the context of a fire's danger (the danger is about to happen, not innate).
• "eminent" means well - known/high - standing, which is not related to the danger from a fire.
• "imminent" means about to occur. A fire out of control would put a neighborhood in danger that is about to happen, so "imminent" fits.

Answer:

imminent
