Restraint means which of the following?

• A. Moderation or self-control
• B. Aggression
• C. Disorder
• D. Freedom from constraint

Answer: (A)

Restraint is about holding back impulses and acting with self‑control. It means choosing moderation in behavior and responses rather than reacting impulsively. Think of someone pausing before speaking or tempering anger to respond calmly—that’s restraint in action.

That’s why moderation or self‑control fits best: it directly describes tempering actions and emotions. Aggression is acting with force or hostility, which isn’t restraint. Disorder isn’t about self-control, and freedom from constraint is the opposite idea.
