Which term means to make something smaller or use less resources?

Increase Reduce Expand Intensify

Correct Answer:

Reduce

Explanation:

This question tests vocabulary for lowering amount or size. To reduce means to make something smaller or use fewer resources—cutting down, decreasing, or trimming where you’re using less. For example, you can reduce energy consumption by turning off lights when not needed or reduce waste by recycling more. The other options don’t fit as well: increase means to become larger or more, expand means to grow in size or scope, and intensify means to become stronger or more extreme, not simply smaller. That’s why the best choice is to reduce.
