Hi,
Could you please tell me the difference between these two words in the sentence below?

Thank you very much,

Primary = main or most important.
and
in this context, foremost= the most important.
So, the meanings can be considered the same, but primary can also have the meaning or being the key one, the one that is the main focus. Hope that helps! :-) Sara
