Which term means 'to limit'?

• A. restrict
• B. serene
• C. status
• D. symptom

Answer: (A)

To limit means to place boundaries or cap something, restricting how much or what is allowed. The best fit is restrict, because it directly conveys the act of confining or narrowing access, amount, or freedom. For example, you might restrict access to a secure area or restrict the number of items in a bag. The other words don’t carry that meaning: serene describes calmness or peacefulness; status refers to one’s position or rank; symptom is a sign of an illness or condition.
