with a word given in BOLD. Corresponding to each question three sentences are given with the use of the same word. From the options choose the sentences which give a DIFFERENT MEANING for the word used in the sentence above. The meaning used in the sentence(s) should be different from the one used in the main sentence. The cunning mastermind's intricate plot  to manipulate the stock market and profit from the ensuing chaos was carefully planned over several years I. The opposition party's plot  to damage the current government had severe repercussions. II. The complex plot of the historical drama comprised political intrigue, social commentary, and personal relationships.  III.

Solution ‘Plot’ in the given sentence means ‘a scheme or plan, especially one intended to manipulate or deceive’, referring to the mastermind's careful planning to profit from chaos. ‘Plot’ in sentence I also refers to a ‘scheme or conspiracy’ aimed at damaging the government, which aligns with the meaning in the main sentence. ‘Plot’ in sentence II means ‘the main story or narrative structure of a literary work’, describing the components of the historical drama, which is a different context. ‘Plot’ in sentence III means ‘a piece of land’, specifically referring to the space for the community garden, which is also a different context. Thus, options II and III present a different meaning for the word ‘plot’ compared to its usage in the main sentence. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
