To throw violent or bring about abruptly, lacking deliberation?

• A. Proliferate
• B. Prevaricate
• C. Precipitate
• D. Prudence

Answer: (C)

The main concept here is understanding precipitate as a verb that means to cause something to happen quickly or without careful thought. In this sense, precipitate captures bringing about an event abruptly and often with little deliberation, even a sense of throwing or hurling actions forward hastily. That’s why it fits the clue about causing something to occur suddenly and without sufficient deliberation.

The other options don’t match the sense of acting hastily or causing something to unfold abruptly: proliferate means to multiply rapidly; prevaricate means to lie or evade the truth; prudence refers to cautious good sense in decision-making.
