Important examples of incorporate in TOEIC

▪They incorporated the new system into their operations.
▪They included the new system into their operations.

Example of a confusing word: cooperate (to work together)

▪They cooperated the new system into their operations.
▪They worked together to integrate the new system into their operations.
"Incorporate" means "to include" or "integrate" something as part of a whole, and it is used correctly in the sentence "They incorporated the new system into their operations." "Cooperate," however, means "to work together," and it does not fit grammatically in the sentence as "cooperate" is intransitive and does not take a direct object like "the new system." Therefore, "incorporate" is the correct choice.

Grammar examples from the TOEIC test

In TOEIC grammar questions, incorporate is used as a verb that requires an object and often has 'into' after it.
