Which term means 'to stop'?

• A. restrict
• B. retain
• C. suppress
• D. sublingual

Answer: (C)

Understanding words that describe stopping or preventing ongoing action is key here. Suppress means to stop or prevent something from continuing or appearing, such as suppressing a fever or a cough. This is why it fits the idea of “to stop” best. Restrict means to limit within bounds, not necessarily stop completely; retain means to keep or hold onto something; sublingual refers to a route of administration under the tongue, not to stopping a process.
