Which term indicates an inoperable system with cancellation by 'sweet'?

• A. Bent
• B. Blind
• C. Ripple
• D. Cherubs

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how slang can describe a system that’s no longer trustworthy or functional because it’s been undermined from the inside. In this sense, “bent” means corrupted or sabotaged, so the system is effectively inoperable. The clue about cancellation by “sweet” points to a bribe or payoff that causes someone to neutralize or shut down the system, further signaling deliberate interference rather than a simple fault. Among the options, this term best captures the notion of a system that has been compromised and rendered unusable. The other terms don’t convey that sense of deliberate corruption or sabotage that leads to inoperability.
