Which term means dealing with facts or actual practice in a reasonable and logical way?

• A. Precedent
• B. Pragmatic
• C. Precarious
• D. Precipice

Answer: (B)

Pragmatic describes an approach that sticks to what works in real life, focusing on facts and actual practice rather than theory. When you take a pragmatic view, you assess the situation with practical considerations—what can be done now, given available resources and constraints—and choose a solution that is sensible and likely to produce results. That fits the idea of dealing with facts or actual practice in a reasonable and logical way. For example, in a budget debate, a pragmatic plan would favor cost-effective steps and tested methods over lofty ideals. The other terms don’t fit this sense: precedent is about earlier decisions used as a standard; precarious means unstable or risky; precipice is a literal or figurative edge or brink.
