^ Same!
It was a vocab-in-context question... What does the word 'mean' mean... (well not like that... but you know what I mean)... okay, choice:

1. Base.
2. Dull.
3. Average.
4. (Something ... definitely not the answer)
5. Stingy

I immediately eliminated 2, 3, and 4... (The sentence was something along the lines of... "sublime landscapes are powerful and mean, but we still admire them... blah blah'

Base didn't make any sense to me.

Edit: Okay, stingy is wrong... base is right. Stingy refers to a 'miser'... =/
Base works better.
