Solution

Answer

The answer is 2.

Explanation

Option 1: No, because the passage indicates that "meticulous" is used to describe very tiny objects.

This option is incorrect because "meticulous" does not refer to the size of objects. Instead, it refers to the level of attention and precision applied to a task or object.

Option 2: No, because the context explains that the necklace was made with great attention to detail.

This option is correct. The term "meticulous" is often used to describe something that is done with great care and attention to detail. If the passage indicates that the necklace was made with such precision, then Tim's understanding of "meticulous" as relating to attention to detail is correct.

Option 3: Yes, because most of the passage is describing how fantastic Marcus thinks the necklace is.

This option is incorrect. While Marcus may admire the necklace, the term "meticulous" specifically refers to the careful and detailed nature of its creation, not just the admiration of its quality.

Option 4: Yes, because most of the passage gives details about how Marcus admires objects of amazing quality.

This option is incorrect. Admiration of quality does not necessarily equate to an understanding of the term "meticulous," which specifically refers to the careful and detailed nature of the work involved.
