Which word means to ask or check with someone?

• A. Consult
• B. Neglect
• C. Thrive
• D. Ignore

Answer: (A)

When you need to ask or check with someone, you are consulting that person. Consulting means seeking advice, information, or confirmation from someone who can help you make a decision or understand something better. It’s about turning to another person for guidance before taking action. For example, you might consult your teacher about a difficult question or consult a mentor before starting a project.

The other words describe different actions: neglect means to fail to take care of something or someone; thrive means to grow or do very well; ignore means to deliberately pay no attention. Because consulting specifically captures the idea of asking or checking with someone, it’s the best fit.
