Which term means to change or modify something for the better?

• A. Amend
• B. Discrimination
• C. Intellectual Capital
• D. Sustainability

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is changing something to make it better. Amending is the act of changing or modifying content to improve accuracy, fairness, or usefulness, such as amending a law or a contract to reflect a clearer or more correct intention. That sense of making a refinement or correction is what links the term to “change or modify for the better.”

Discrimination describes unfair treatment of people based on characteristics, which is the opposite of improving something. Intellectual capital refers to the knowledge and skills that contribute to an organization’s value, not to making changes. Sustainability is about maintaining operations or outcomes over the long term, not about changing something to improve it.
