utilitarian
○ an ability to learn a specific skill; knack
○ practical; designed for function
○ of mixed descent; crossbred (often pejorative)
○ the tiny or trivial details or particulars of something

Explanation:

To determine the correct definition of "utilitarian", we analyze each option:

• "an ability to learn a specific skill; knack" refers to "aptitude" or similar terms, not utilitarian.
• "practical; designed for function" matches the meaning of utilitarian, which emphasizes practicality and functionality.
• "of mixed descent; crossbred (often pejorative)" is related to "hybrid" or "mongrel" (in a negative sense), not utilitarian.
• "the tiny or trivial details or particulars of something" refers to "minutiae", not utilitarian.

Answer:

The correct option is: the second option (practical; designed for function)
