Question

read the sentence.

the pilot received the updated weather report, which allowed him to think about the turbulence ahead.

now, revise the sentence to show that the pilot gave advance thought to and planned for the turbulence ahead.

the pilot received the updated weather report, which allowed him to ______ the turbulence ahead.

reflect on ponder anticipate imagine

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the meaning of each option:

• "reflect on" means to think deeply about something, often after it has happened or in a more retrospective way, not focusing on planning for the future.
• "ponder" means to think about something carefully, but it doesn't imply planning for it in advance.
• "anticipate" means to give advance thought to and plan for something that is going to happen, which matches the requirement of the problem (the pilot giving advance thought and planning for the turbulence ahead).
• "imagine" means to form a mental image or concept, which is more about creating a mental picture rather than planning.

Answer:

anticipate
