Which term means 'of the same or similar nature'?

• A. Homogeneous
• B. Hypothesis
• C. Hierarchy
• D. Highlight

Answer: (A)

Uniformity across a whole is what this term captures. Homogeneous describes things that have the same or very similar nature throughout. The root homo- means “same,” and -geneous points to origin or kind, together signaling that every part of the thing shares the same characteristics. That's why you’d use it for a substance or group that looks and behaves consistently from one part to another—for example, a homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition, so you can’t distinguish different components by sight.

The other terms point to different ideas: hypothesis is a proposed explanation to be tested, hierarchy is a system of ordered levels, and highlight means to call attention to something.
