INCHOATE
Beleaguered
Indebted
Rudimentary
Detrimental
Parallel
Rudimentary
"Inchoate" is an adjective that means just begun or not completely developed, so we need to pick out an answer choice that is an adjective meaning something like just begun. While "indebted" may look like a potentially correct answer choice because "inchoate" and "indebted" begin with the negative prefix "in-," "indebted" means owing money or beholden, not just begun, so "indebted" cannot be the correct answer. However, "rudimentary" means basic and elementary or undeveloped, and because "inchoate" is synonymous with the second meaning of "rudimentary," "rudimentary" is the correct answer.
