The verb meaning "in Verbindung bringen, assoziieren" is which English verb?

• A. To associate
• B. To ignore
• C. To separate
• D. To compare

Answer: (A)

Forming a connection between ideas or things is what this item is asking you to choose a verb for. The English verb that means to bring something into relation or to think of it in connection with something else is to associate. You can say, “I associate the smell of rain with childhood,” or “That name is often associated with the charity.” The other options don’t carry the same sense: ignore means to pay no attention, separate means to keep apart, and compare means to examine similarities and differences. So, to associate is the best fit for conveying linking or relating things.
