Which Filipino word means 'To dive into water'?

• A. Lumusong
• B. Pag-abangan
• C. Nakakatulong
• D. Mahanap

Answer: (A)

Understanding how Filipino verbs describe entering water helps here. Lumusong means to dive into water or plunge into it, so it directly conveys the act of going under in water. That makes it the best fit for the meaning “to dive into water.” The other options describe different ideas—waiting for something, something being helpful, or finding—none of which capture the action of entering water. For example, you could say, Lumusong siya sa ilog.
