Which rating is stronger than Highly Meets but still not fully comprehensive?

• A. Moderately Meets
• B. Highly Meets
• C. Highly Meets +
• D. Fully Met

Answer: (C)

In rating systems, adding a plus sign after a category signals a notch above the base level. Here, the scale shows Moderately Meets, Highly Meets, Highly Meets +, and Fully Met. The base “Highly Meets” means a high level of sufficiency, but it isn’t fully comprehensive. The plus modifier elevates that high level a step further, indicating stronger performance than plain Highly Meets while still not reaching complete coverage or all criteria included. The option with the plus is the only choice that combines being stronger than the base category without becoming fully comprehensive, which is what Fully Met represents. Therefore, Highly Meets + is the best fit.
