Which word means extra or added?

• A. Policy
• B. Plus
• C. Posterity
• D. Ponderous

Answer: (B)

This item tests recognizing a word that conveys addition or that something is extra. The word that fits this sense is plus, because it’s used to show an additional amount or feature: for example, “the price is $50, plus shipping” means shipping is an extra cost beyond the base price, and “three features, plus two more” signals adding something on top.

Other options don’t carry the sense of addition. Policy refers to a plan or rule guiding actions or to an insurance contract, not something extra. Posterity means future generations. Ponderous describes something heavy, dull, or laborious, not an addition to something else.

So the word that best expresses “extra or added” is the one that signals addition directly, as in math or listing extras.
