Which option defines mode as a way of doing something?

• A. mode
• B. a way of doing something
• C. mitigate
• D. momentous

Answer: (B)

Mode denotes a particular manner or method of doing something. That precise sense is captured by the phrase “a way of doing something,” which describes mode as a method or manner rather than a single word or a different idea. In usage, you’ll see phrases like operating mode or driving mode, where mode tells you how something is being done or how it functions. The other options point to unrelated meanings: mitigate means to lessen something, momentous means very important, and the word itself isn’t defining mode’s meaning. So the phrase “a way of doing something” best expresses mode as a method or manner.
