The largest amount, level, or degree that is allowed or possible.
“The maximum number of guests allowed per booking is six.”
“Each applicant can receive a maximum refund of $200 under this policy.”
Look for maximum limits in diagrams about capacity, group size, or spending (e.g., maximum occupancy, maximum refund). Questions may describe a scenario slightly above or below the maximum to test whether you notice the exact cutoff point. Comparing given numbers directly against the maximum in the chart is a reliable strategy.
Synonyms: upper limit, ceiling, cap
