Explanation:

The question asks for the underlined word (in paragraphs 6 - 8) that means "putting something into action or making something operational". Let's analyze the underlined words:

• "meet": Involves gathering, not about putting into action.
• "communicate": About sharing information, not action.
• "seek": About looking for, not action.
• "implementing": The definition of "implement" is to put a plan, decision, etc., into action or make it operational. So "implementing" is the word that fits the description.

Answer:

implementing (the underlined word "implementing" in the relevant paragraph refers to putting something into action or making something operational)
