Which definition describes the verb 'assemble' when it means to combine parts?

• A. To dismantle something
• B. To bring people together into one single group
• C. To put something together by joining its parts
• D. To summarize a document

Answer: (C)

The sense being tested is when you mean to combine several pieces into a single unit by joining them. Assemble furniture, a model kit, or machine parts by connecting pieces until they form one complete thing. That fits exactly with “to put something together by joining its parts.” This is different from dismantle (take apart), bringing people together into one group (gathering individuals), or summarizing a document (condensing content).
