What does it mean to inflate something?

To make it smaller by removing air
To increase its size by filling it with air
To make sound waves louder
To alter its color

The correct answer is: To increase its size by filling it with air

Inflating something refers to the process of increasing its size by adding air or gas. This typically applies to objects such as balloons, tires, and inflatable toys, where the act of introducing air causes them to expand and take on their intended shape. The essential aspect of inflation is that it involves filling the object with air, which results in a noticeable increase in volume. In different contexts, inflation can also refer more broadly to the expansion of prices or economies, but in this specific scenario, it clearly relates to the physical act of making something larger by adding air. The other choices presented do not accurately describe this process—removing air leads to deflation, making sound waves louder pertains to amplification, and altering color involves a change in appearance rather than size.
