• A. Assessing
• B. Anticipation
• C. Apex
• D. Aft

Answer: (B)

Anticipation is the act of getting ready for what comes next. In skiing, it means scanning the upcoming terrain, deciding how you want to approach the next turn, and preparing your body—adjusting stance, balance, edging, and pressure—so you’re ready to execute smoothly as you start that turn. This mental and physical prep is what links one turn to the next with control and rhythm. The other terms don’t fit as well: assessing is more about evaluating conditions or performance, apex refers to the peak of the turn, and aft means the rear direction, which isn’t about preparing for the next move.
