What does 'magnum cum laude' signify when awarded?

With great honor
With high distinction
With excellence
With utmost respect

The correct answer is: With high distinction

The term 'magnum cum laude' is a Latin phrase that translates to "with high distinction." This recognition is often awarded to graduates who have achieved an exceptionally high level of academic performance, typically on a specific grade point average scale. The phrase indicates that the individual has not only met the requirements for their degree but has done so with notable excellence compared to their peers. This distinction is part of a hierarchy of honors, including other classifications such as 'cum laude' (with honor) and 'summa cum laude' (with highest honor). The emphasis on 'high distinction' communicates the significance of the achievement in the context of academic accolades.
