Which term means 'about to happen'?

Imminent
Incident
Discrete
Compliment

The correct answer is: Imminent

The term that means 'about to happen' is "imminent." This word is commonly used to describe events or situations that are impending or likely to occur in the very near future. For example, if there’s an impending storm, it suggests that the storm is almost guaranteed to arrive shortly. The other options do not convey this sense of urgency or nearness. "Incident" refers to an event or occurrence, particularly one that is unexpected or unusual, but it does not imply that something is about to occur. "Discrete" signifies something that is separate or distinct and has no relation to timing. Lastly, "compliment" refers to a polite expression of praise or admiration and is unrelated to the concept of events approaching in time. Overall, "imminent" clearly encapsulates the idea of something looming on the horizon.
