What does it mean to "tweak" something?

  1. To destroy it completely

  2. To change something slightly

  3. To elaborate on details extensively

  4. To remove it from use

The correct answer is: To change something slightly

To "tweak" something means to change it slightly, typically with the intention of improving it or making it more effective. This term often implies minor adjustments or refinements rather than significant alterations or complete overhauls. Tinkering or making small modifications can lead to enhanced performance or better results without the need for an extensive overhaul. This can apply in various contexts, such as making minor adjustments to a project, enhancing a recipe, or fine-tuning a piece of equipment. The other options involve actions that are more extreme or different in nature, such as destroying, elaborating extensively, or completely removing something, which do not capture the essence of making small, effective changes.
