Question
In each of the following questions, a word has been
given and used in three statements. You are supposed to identify which of the statement/s use/s the word correctly and mark that as your answer. INDICT I. The district attorney announced the decision to indict the cybercriminals responsible for the large-scale data breach. II. The landlord had to indict the tenant for consistently failing to pay rent on time. III. The prestigious university decided to indict a new group of talented scholars into its distinguished academic honor society.Solution
Indict means to formally charge someone with a crime through a grand jury or similar legal process. Statement I: This statement correctly uses "indict" in the context of legal charges. The district attorney is responsible for prosecuting crimes, and announcing the indictment of cybercriminals falls within their duties. Statement II: The term "indict" is not appropriate in the context of a landlord-tenant dispute over rent. The correct legal action would be to evict the tenant, not indict them. Statement III: "Induct" is the appropriate word for admitting someone into an organization or group. While "indict" might sound similar, it has a completely different meaning.
