Correct answer

Put into effect

  1. A Cancelled
  2. B Put into effect
  3. C Ignored
  4. D Criticized

Why this is the answer

VOCABULARY IN CONTEXT: 'Implemented' means PUT INTO EFFECT/carried out. The context ('the new policy was implemented gradually... to avoid disrupting operations') shows the policy was being put in place. ASVAB strategy: use context clues — a policy 'implemented gradually' is being enacted/put into effect step by step. 'Cancelled' or 'ignored' would contradict the idea of carefully rolling it out. Context confirms 'put into effect.'
