Question

Find the synonym of the underlined word.
A Japanese company pioneered the use of the Bessemer process for making steel and improved the quality of steel.

• A. Hid
• B. Initiated
• C. Explored
• D. Disguised
• E. Illustrated

Answer 1

The correct option is B Initiated

'Pioneer' means to develop or be the first to use or apply (a new method, area of knowledge, or activity).

"the technique was pioneered by a Swiss doctor in the 1930s"

In this context, "A Japanese company pioneered the use of the Bessemer process for making steel and improved the quality of steel", 'pioneered' means initiated or developed. Hence, option B is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
