Alter is most closely defined as which of the following?

• A. To Make Something Different
• B. To Remove Or Delete
• C. To Change Or Modify
• D. To Fix Permanently

Answer: (C)

Alter means to change something, to make it different from its original state. This sense of actively altering or adjusting a thing is best captured by the option that describes it as “To Change Or Modify.” That aligns with how alter is used when you tweak, revise, or re-fashion something rather than simply repairing it or removing it.

The other ideas don’t fit as well. Removing or deleting suggests taking something away, which is not what alter inherently means. Fixing permanently implies repair, which is different from altering or changing the nature or form of something. Making something different is close, but it doesn’t directly emphasize the act of modifying or altering its state in the way the correct option does.
