In a passage praising a craftsman, the author writes that his work was 'measured and patient'. 'Measured' most nearly means:
AQuantified using a numeric metric system
BLimited in physical scope or size
CDeliberate and unhurried in approach
DAdjusted to fit a standard frame
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Deliberate and unhurried in approach
In a praising context, 'measured' connotes 'deliberate and unhurried'. The literal 'quantified' is the trap.
