Which phrase means to adapt to suit specific requirements?

• A. To customize
• B. To tailor to
• C. To standardize
• D. To generalize

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is fitting something to meet specific requirements. “To tailor to” conveys that exact fit best: it means adjusting or shaping something to suit the particular needs, constraints, or preferences of a situation or person. For example, you might tailor a report to a client’s goals or tailor a training plan to a team's capabilities, ensuring it aligns with those precise requirements.

Other options don’t fit as well. Standardize aims to make things uniform, removing individual differences. Generalize means applying a broad rule to many cases, which ignores specific needs. Customize is close—modifying things to suit preferences—but tailoring to specifically fit particular requirements emphasizes the precise fit to those needs.
