Faith Bible Institute Semester 3 New Testament Practice Test

What does the term Prevent mean in the material?

Go before or proceed Go after Delay Stop

Correct Answer:

Go before or proceed

Explanation:

The meaning being tested is how the term prevent is used in older or biblical English. In that usage, prevent means to go before, precede, or come in advance of something rather than to stop it. So the best fit is the sense of “go before or proceed,” because the material is treating prevent as an action of preceding or paving the way, not hindering or delaying. The other ideas don’t match that sense. Going after would be the opposite of preceding. Delaying suggests putting things off, which isn’t the sense being used here. Stopping conveys a halt, which is the modern, hinder-focused meaning that this context isn’t about. Understanding that older English usage helps you see why prevent here means to go before or proceed.
