Question
In each of the following questions, a word has been used
in sentences in THREE different ways. Choose the option corresponding to the sentences in which the usage of the word 'obloquy' is CORRECT or APPROPRIATE. OBLOQUY i) The politician faced severe obloquy after the scandal was exposed in the media. ii) Her artistic achievements rescued her from the obloquy of her earlier failures. iii) The teacher praised the student's work and dismissed all obloquy associated with the previous project.Solution
Sentence i is correct because 'Obloquy' means public criticism or verbal abuse. The politician facing severe criticism fits this usage. Sentence ii is also correct because the sentence appropriately uses 'obloquy' to indicate the disgrace or shame associated with earlier failures. Sentence iii is incorrect. The reason is- while 'obloquy' refers to verbal abuse or criticism, the context here implies criticism was dismissed, which makes the usage awkward and unclear.
