Which term means to remove or pull something out of another source?

• A. Withdraw
• B. Extract
• C. Detach
• D. Remove

Answer: (B)

The idea tested here is choosing a verb that means pulling something out from its source. To extract is the best fit because it specifically conveys removing or drawing something out from within a larger whole or source, often with effort. This usage spans contexts like extracting oil from the ground, extracting information from a document, or extracting a tooth, where the emphasis is on pulling something out of something else.

Withdraw suggests moving away from a place or taking back something, which isn’t about pulling from a source. Detach means to separate or disconnect, not necessarily the act of pulling something out from inside another material. Remove is a general term for taking something away but doesn’t inherently convey the sense of pulling something out from its source. So, extract best captures the precise idea of pulling or pulling out from a source.
