ASVAB Practice Test

Small most nearly means

1. a little

2. big

3. tiny

4. vast

The correct answer is: a little

"Small" is a relative term that describes something as being of a smaller size, quantity or amount than something else. The other choices are incorrect because they do not convey the same meaning. B "big" is the antonym of small, and would be the opposite of what is being asked for. C: "tiny" is a synonym of small and could also be used to mean "very small." D: "vast" is the antonym of small and implies something as being very large or spacious, so it would not be considered the same as "small."
