Correct Answer: set out


Solution : The second option is correct.

Set out means to begin a journey or start on a course of action, which fits well in the context of introducing or initiating a project like the "Sesame Street" spinoff. In this case, it refers to the commencement of the first Russian-language educational TV aimed at preschoolers.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Set in means to arrive or become established, often used for something that becomes firmly established.
  • Set off means to start a journey or trigger something.
  • Set aside means to reserve or allocate something for a specific purpose.

Therefore, the correct answer is set out.
