I’m confused because I thought "Rejects" was a waste too, but now I’m not so sure.

I feel like "Defectives" and "Defects" are really close, but I lean towards "Defects" being the correct answer.

I remember practicing a question about the seven wastes, and "Rejects" doesn't sound familiar as one of them.

I think "Defects" is one of the seven wastes, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the same as "Defectives."
