Question:

Select the most appropriate meaning of the given word/phrase:

"INTER ALIA"

Options:

internal affairs

internal assessment

among other thing

among one's own people

Correct Answer:

among other thing

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - among other thing

  • "Inter alia" is a Latin phrase that means "among other things."
  • It is commonly used in legal, academic, and formal writing to indicate that something is one item among several others that are not explicitly mentioned.

OTHER OPTIONS

  • "Internal affairs"  → Refers to domestic matters within an organization or country, unrelated to the meaning of "inter alia."
  • "Internal assessment"  → Related to evaluations within an institution, but not the meaning of "inter alia."
  • "Among one's own people"  → This refers to being within a specific group or community, not "among other things."

Thus, the correct meaning of "Inter alia" is: "Among other things."
