'Summit' most nearly means:

Correct answer

Peak

  1. A Base
  2. B Peak
  3. C Middle
  4. D Path

Why this is the answer

SUMMIT means the highest point; PEAK/top (of a mountain), or figuratively the highest level (a summit meeting of top leaders). 'Base' (the bottom) is essentially the opposite. ASVAB strategy: 'reach the summit' means reach the top/peak. Choose 'peak.' Recognizing the word's common use (mountain summit, summit meeting) confirms it means the highest point.
