Question

select the best definition.
be sure to read all choices before making a selection.
he was pleased by the aggregate production in his factory.
a reduced
b total
c individual
d plausible

Explanation:

To determine the best definition of "aggregate" in the context of "aggregate production", we analyze each option:

• Option A: "reduced" means made smaller, which doesn't fit as "aggregate" relates to a sum or total, not a decrease.
• Option B: "total" matches the meaning of "aggregate" (referring to the whole or combined amount of production).
• Option C: "individual" refers to single units, opposite of aggregate (which is a collection).
• Option D: "plausible" means reasonable, irrelevant to production quantity.

Answer:

B. total
