What does it mean if something is described as 'outright'?

Partial
Incompetent
Complete
Indeterminate

The correct answer is: Complete

When something is described as 'outright', it conveys a sense of totality or completeness. This term typically indicates that something is done fully, entirely, or without reservation. For instance, if a claim is rejected outright, it means it is dismissed entirely with no acceptance or qualification. This reinforces the notion that 'outright' conveys a clear and unambiguous state, emphasizing that nothing is held back or only partially acknowledged. In contrast, terms like 'partial', 'incompetent', and 'indeterminate' suggest a lack of completeness or certainty, which diverges from the meaning of 'outright'.
