BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Here is the question and the available answer choices as given: According to Paragraph 4, ‘in no small measure’ is closest in meaning to
- no degree.
- some degree.
- a large degree.
- a small degree.

First, consider the overall idiomatic meaning of the phrase “in no small measure.” This expression is used to indicate a substantial or considerable extent, not a tiny amount. It signals emphasis on degree rather than insignificance.

Option 1: no degree. Interpreting the phrase as indicating zero degree would be contradictory to the common idiom, which expresses a significant extent. Therefore this choice misreads the emphasis of the phrase.

Option 2: some degree. While this option acknowledges a nonzero amount, it does not convey the strong emphasis that “in no small measure” typically implies. It understates the intensity of the meaning in most contexts where the phrase appears.

Option 3: a large degree. This aligns with the intended emphasis of the idiom—describing a substantial, often notable extent. It captures the sense that the degree is far from small and reflects the strongest approximation among the options.

Option 4: a small degree. This is the direct opposite of the idiom’s meaning; it would contradict the implication of a considerable extent, making it incorrect.

Summing up the analysis: the phrase signals a substantial degree rather than none, some, or a small amount. The best match among the options is option 3, “a large degree.”
