What does it mean to "utilise" something?

  1. A. To discard something

  2. B. To use something effectively

  3. C. To provide something

  4. D. To mismanage resources

The correct answer is: B. To use something effectively

To "utilise" something means to use it in a practical and effective way. This involves not just using an item or resource but also maximizing its potential or effectiveness in achieving a particular purpose or goal. In various contexts, such as in healthcare or resource management, the concept of utilisation is essential as it implies not only the action of using but also the importance of doing so efficiently and thoughtfully to derive the greatest benefit from what is available. This effective use may involve applying knowledge, skills, or techniques to ensure that the resource serves its intended function optimally.
