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. SUBJUGATE I. The United Nations plays a crucial role in helping to subjugate conflicts between nations and foster global diplomacy. II. The king shocked his subjects when he announced his decision to subjugate the throne, relinquishing his royal responsibilities to pursue a life of solitude. III. Colonial powers often sought to subjugate indigenous cultures, imposing their own social structures and customs on the conquered territories.Solution
Subjugate means to bring under complete control or subjection, often through force or intimidation. I. The UN's purpose is to resolve conflicts, not bring them under control. The sentence uses "subjugate" inaccurately in this context. II. While "subjugate" can refer to giving up something (like control) figuratively, the usual context involves someone else taking control. In this case, the king is relinquishing power, not being subjected to someone else's control. So, "subjugate" doesn't fit here either. III. This statement accurately uses "subjugate." Colonial powers imposed their own systems and customs on conquered territories, effectively exercising control and dominance over the indigenous cultures.
