The term for temporarily inactive or suspended.

The term for temporarily inactive or suspended.

• A. veracious
• B. nadir
• C. fundament
• D. abeyant

Answer: (D)

This item tests understanding of a word that describes a state of temporary inactivity or suspension. Abeyant means something is paused or held in reserve and not proceeding at the moment, often awaiting a condition or decision. It’s the precise way to express a temporary halt, as in plans kept in abeyant until funding is secured. Veracious refers to truthfulness, unrelated to activity status. Nadir means the lowest point, not about being paused. Fundament is an old or rare term for a base or foundation, not about temporary suspension. So abeyant best captures the idea of something being temporarily inactive or suspended.
