The Board of Public Land Commissioners __________ upon a project for a 2,000-acre community on the city's outskirts. A. embarked B. embedded C. embodied D. embraced

The correct answer is A. embarked.

Let's look at why:

embarked (on) means to begin a course of action, especially a project or journey.

embedded means fixed firmly into something else (e.g., a journalist embedded with troops).

embodied means to represent or exemplify an idea.

embraced means to accept or support willingly, or to hug.

In the sentence, the Board is beginning or starting ("upon") a project, so embarked upon is the correct phrase.

Final sentence:
The Board of Public Land Commissioners embarked upon a project for a 2,000-acre community on the city's outskirts.
