Initializing an asynchronous input signal on D flip-flops

1) Use an asynchronous input signal called INIT to initialize the
flip-flops to the initial state (assume initial state is A).

Does this mean to tie the Set/Preset together and simply call it INIT?
What does the "assume initial state is A" mean?

2) Suppose you want to initialize three D flip-flops Q3 Q2 Q1 to an initial state 011, using an asynchronous input signal INIT. (That is, when INIT = 1, initialize the flip-flops to 011.) Show how to hook up the INIT signal to achieve this using minimal hardware (draw the flip-flops, INIT signal, etc.).

Does this mean the same thing:
i.e., tie the Set/Preset together and add an inverter to Q3?

Thanks in advance!
