Lower grit on an abrasive nail file results in a more what kind of action?

• A. Gentle
• B. Aggressive
• C. Precise
• D. Smooth

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is that grit level on an abrasive file controls how aggressively it cuts into the nail. A lower grit is coarser, with bigger abrasive particles that grab and remove more material with each pass. That makes the filing action more aggressive—faster shaping but with more potential to rough up the surface if you’re not careful. In contrast, a higher grit is finer and produces a gentler, smoother, and more controlled finish. So a lower grit file results in a more aggressive action.
