Which meaning of 'domestic' best describes its use relating to home life?

• A. Related to house, home or family
• B. From one's own country
• C. A domestic animal
• D. Not imported

Answer: (A)

The meaning being tested is the one that describes things connected to the home and family. When we talk about domestic life, chores, or duties, the word points to aspects of the house, daily family routines, and other home-centered matters. That sense fits best with phrases you’d use about home life. Other uses exist—domestic can mean from one’s own country (as opposed to foreign), it can describe a domesticated animal, or refer to goods produced within a country rather than imported—but none of those convey the home-life idea as directly as the sense that is about the house, home, or family.
