We hope that the government's new policies will ______ a period of economic growth.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

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.
