Question

Read the sentence below:

We may have to go off-trail on this hike and blaze our own route.

Which is the best definition of blaze in this context?


a. An intensely burning fire


b. A sudden outburst


c. To be obviously brilliant


d. To lead in some direction

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. Normally, the word blaze would refer to a fire, but it is also used to indicate be successful or be a leader. So therefore in this sentence it indicates leadership.

Answer 2

d because if u switch that phrase in for "blaze" the sentence still makes sense
