Which phrase means to tailor something to specific requirements?

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

Answer: (D)

This question tests understanding of how language signals fitting something to exact needs. The expression that most clearly means adjusting something to meet specific requirements is “to tailor to.” Tailoring conveys shaping or modifying something so it fits particular needs, constraints, or criteria, which is exactly what “specific requirements” imply.

Standardizing means making things uniform, which actually reduces customization rather than aligning with individual requirements. Adapting is broader and refers to changing in response to new conditions, not necessarily to meet defined requirements. Customizing is close, since it involves modification, but it emphasizes personal preferences rather than ensuring compliance with fixed requirements. So, the best choice for meeting specific requirements is “to tailor to.”
