Correct Answer: Soon
So why is this answer correct? : If someone asks you to complete a task ASAP, they’re requesting that you do it “as soon as possible.” The acronym originated as Army slang in the 1950s but has since evolved to express general urgency. The abbreviation is also recognized in several countries around the world — in Italy, ASAP is pronounced “asap-pa,” and in Japan, it’s pronounced “ah-zap.”
