Which choice best defines 'method'?

• A. A way of doing something
• B. An approach
• C. A technique
• D. A rule or standard

Answer: (B)

Method is about the way you do something—the plan or system you use to carry out a task. An approach fits best because it captures that broad sense of a strategy or way of dealing with a problem, not just a single step or skill. A technique refers to a specific method or skill for performing a part of the task, and a rule or standard is a prescribed guideline to follow. So, method aligns with the idea of a general plan or strategy, which is why “an approach” is the most fitting definition.
