Which term means "next to" or "in close proximity"?

Adjoining
Remote
Distant
Secluded

The correct answer is: Adjoining

The term that means "next to" or "in close proximity" is "adjoining." This word specifically refers to two objects or places that are physically next to each other or share a border. In the context of physical space, adjoining describes locations that have a common edge or boundary, highlighting their closeness. The other terms convey different meanings. "Remote" refers to something that is situated far away, suggesting a significant distance rather than proximity. "Distant" also implies separation or a lack of closeness, indicating that things are far apart. "Secluded" denotes being hidden away or isolated from others, which again contradicts the concept of being close or next to something. Understanding these differences reinforces why "adjoining" is the correct choice for describing proximity.
