AfterBoards · Accepted Answer

The blank needs a phrasal verb meaning to introduce or begin something new. **Option 1 -> usher in ->** means to introduce or mark the beginning of something new. Option 2 -> set in -> means to begin and seem likely to continue (usually negative), not appropriate for initiating policies. Option 3 -> turn up -> means to appear or arrive, not to introduce or begin something. Option 4 -> set forth -> means to state or present ideas clearly, not to initiate a period of growth.

When a new president takes office, their policies are expected to usher in a new era of prosperity. Just like an usher guides people into a theater, to "usher in" means to formally introduce or mark the beginning of something significant, opening the door to new possibilities.
