did doo did doo did doo did doo dun dun Who are you?

Thanks for the input people.

yesterday i had an english test and couldn't figure out this one:

What verb do you use when a company starts selling product in a market for the first time?
a........... (first letter given)

(edited)

Advertising/Advertise?

I'm not sure on this one.

you could be right, but I think its no longer about speaking english, its more about reading the teachers mind :)

I don't think it would be advertise as it has specified first time. I have no clue what it could be though!

Are the dots a club to how many letters there are?

no, there was a line in the test

I was thinking about acquisition, meaning they are acquiring a new market.

I think proper words would be launch or market entry.

announce? arrive?

nothing obvious springs to mind

I will go for apprise.

I think it has to be 'to arrive'.

As a qualified teacher of English[almost, just need to get my diploma in 1 month :P] I must say that this exercise is rubbish and does not check the linguistic ability in foreign language. Blame the teacher :)

Sir! Sir!

Shouldn't that be, "I must say that this exercise is rubbish and does not check linguistic abilities in a foreign language."

You are right - Blame the teacher :)

I blame the weekend in this situation! ;-)

Over here it's a common excercise. Even for classes Dutch. I daresay it might not be all that rubbish.
