Criterion (plural) : a standard on which a judgment or decision may be based

“Part 3: Develop a list of criteria you will argue  and should be used to evaluate whether a monument should remain in place or be removed.”

I ran into this word in the project #2 monument Surveying. As I was reading this I ran into the word I’m a little embarrassed to admit I always used context clues to figure out the meaning. what I originally thought the word meant was a set of category’s from your choosing. now that I’ve finally looked up what the word meant i can have a clearer understanding of the word.
