Definition:
Urgent- Insisting upon immediate action.


Example:
“The government can and must launch an urgent, massive, coordinated, and ,yes, a highly federalized offensive to protect people at work, home, and in their travels. Post troops in every vulnerable place until these warnings subside. Take over security in airports and public transport. Give mayors and governors maximum help. And do it the day before yesterday.”
“Shoring up the Home Front,” by David Gergen, U.S. News and World Report, October 22.


Explanation:
The tone in this article is quite clearly one of urgency. The author actually uses the very word ‘urgent’ to describe what he thinks needs to be done. Further, he concludes by saying it needs to be done “the day before yesterday,” another clear indication that he wants something to be done quickly.
