What action does the verb "infiltrate" describe?

To enter surreptitiously to acquire information
To organize and plan carefully
To present information openly
To gain public support

The correct answer is: To enter surreptitiously to acquire information

The verb "infiltrate" specifically describes the action of entering a place or situation secretly or stealthily, particularly with the aim of gathering information or gaining access for covert purposes. This term is often used in military or espionage contexts where individuals or agents discreetly penetrate organizations or locations to monitor activities or gather intelligence without being detected. This understanding of "infiltrate" aligns directly with the first choice, as it captures both the surreptitious nature of the action and its primary purpose of information acquisition. The other options involve actions that do not reflect the covert, secret, or sneaky connotation associated with infiltrating; they focus instead on organization, transparency, or gaining support openly, which are fundamentally different from the essence of infiltration.
