Which English verb means 'to clash' or 'to collide'?

• A. To clash
• B. To exchange
• C. To argue
• D. To commit

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is choosing a verb that directly conveys two things meeting and hitting each other, or two forces or ideas coming into strong conflict. The word that does this literally is to clash, since it describes objects or forces colliding or situations where there’s a strong clash of ideas, colors, or styles. Among the options, this one matches the meaning most closely because it carries the sense of physical collision as well as a metaphorical conflict. The other verbs describe different actions—exchanging is giving and receiving; arguing is about verbal disagreement; committing is about performing or dedicating something. So the verb that means to clash or collide is to clash.
