Question: 1 / 20

What does it mean if something is marred?

To enhance its beauty

To restore it to perfection

To impair its perfection

If something is described as "marred," it means that it has been damaged or spoiled in some way, which diminishes its perfection or attractiveness. The term originates from the Old English word "merran," which means to spoil or ruin. Therefore, to mar something implies that its condition or beauty has been impaired by flaws, blemishes, or other forms of damage. In this context, the correct answer clearly reflects this meaning, as it denotes the idea of detracting from an ideal state, making the choice appropriate in conjunction with the definition of the word.

To protect it from damage
