Answer:
The correct option is A) to put into motion.
Explanation:
So the complete definition reads:
Activate: to make active and or put into motion.
This of course is a transitive verb.
Another phrase that defines activate is t<em>o make something or someone operational</em>.
Other synonyms are <em>to trigger, to start-up, to ignite, etc.</em>
Activate can be used in so many other ways. However, in the context of the definition above the examples which best illustrate its meaning are:
- an impact to the vehicle can activate the airbags;
- he ignited the engine using voice actuated technology by simply saying "activate!";
- Soon as you jam the door shut, the burglar alarm is activated.
The reason why it can't be the other choices B-D are clear can be clearly seen from the meaning of the words themselves.
