Which term means 'Rapid, uncontrolled'?

Which term means 'Rapid, uncontrolled'?

• A. Precipitous
• B. Primary
• C. Pigmentation
• D. Potent

Answer: (A)

Understanding terms that describe speed and lack of restraint is key here. Precipitous fits because it conveys something done very quickly and often without caution, implying abruptness and potential danger. You might talk about a precipitous decline in prices or a precipitous decision, both highlighting rapid change and little forethought. The other words don’t carry that sense: primary means first in order or importance; pigmentation relates to color; potent means strong or powerful, but not specifically about speed or lack of oversight.
