Choose the appropriate option to complete the following sentence:

Nations which have ________ programmes of economic development often run into unsuspecting barriers which threaten and often delay their projects.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Option 1 -> "propagated programmes" is awkward; propagate means to spread ideas, not to start programmes.

Option 2 -> "embarked" requires "on" (embarked on programmes), making "embarked programmes" grammatically incorrect.

Option 3 -> "initiated programmes" is grammatically correct and logically sound; nations that have started development programmes naturally encounter barriers during implementation.

Option 4 -> "suspended programmes" contradicts the sentence logic; suspended programmes wouldn't be running into barriers since they're halted.

Hence, Option 3: initiated -> fits perfectly as it means "begun" or "started," and nations that have started economic development programmes would naturally face unexpected obstacles during their execution -> correct
