Which term best describes actual care, custody, control, or management of property?

• A. Owner
• B. Public Place
• C. Possession
• D. Oath

Answer: (C)

The concept being tested is possession. Possession means having actual care, custody, control, or the right to control property. It covers the practical reality of who is currently in charge of the item, even if they don’t own it. You can possess something without owning it—for example, borrowing or holding property for someone else—and that control is the key idea, not the title itself. Ownership refers to who has legal title, which is not necessary for possession. A public place describes a location, not who has control of property there. An oath is a sworn statement and isn’t related to property control. So possession best fits the idea of actual care, custody, and management of property.
