      Dear lama

      Please pay attention to their title:

      Puzzle (D)

      It means that the word will be started with "D".

      In fact it is a clue for guessing.

      Thank you for being so active, you encourage me to post more words each day.

      Now, let's check the meaning of "allocate" that you said with each other:

       

      allocate


      al·lo·cate

      verb (used with object), -cat·ed, -cat·ing.

      1.
      to set apart for a particular purpose; assign or allot: to allocate funds for new projects.
      2.
      to fix the place of; locate.
       
       
      But our word is saying that:
      Give part of your work, duties, or responsibilities to somebody who is more junior

    is the verb transitive or not?
    • Sahar > lama amar September 2, 2011 10:38

      It can be both of them, transitive and intransitive.
