What is the definition of "adjacent"?

  1. Separated

  2. Frequent

  3. Nearby

  4. Remote

The correct answer is: Nearby

The term "adjacent" is defined as being next to or near something, which aligns with the provided answer of nearby. In various contexts, such as geography or property, adjacent describes objects, locations, or areas that are directly touching or in close proximity to one another. This characteristic of being close is essential in disciplines like urban planning, real estate, and even in legal matters where spatial relationships are significant. The other terms—separated, frequent, and remote—do not convey the idea of physical proximity in the way that "nearby" does. They imply distance or frequency, which deviates from the fundamental meaning of "adjacent."
