In the following question, a word has been given and there are three ways in which the word has been used, in similar or different forms. You need to see which of the sentence(s) has/have correctly used the given word and mark your answers accordingly.Solution
PERJURE: To tell a lie in a law court, after promising formally to tell the truth. The use of 'perjured' in statement I is incorrect; 'perjure someone from returning' is irrational and makes the sentence meaningless; 'perjured' should instead be replaced by 'abjured' (swear an oath to leave a country forever). The use of 'perjure' in statement II as a verb is correct; 'to perjure oneself' means 'to lie or attempt to lie in a law court' and it lends meaning to the sentence. The use of 'perjury' in statement III as a noun is correct; 'perjury' is the 'the crime of telling a lie in court after promising formally to tell the truth' and makes the sentence meaningful.
