(iii) One function of the community supported the policy while the other one did not.Solution
Solution Both (i) and (ii) use the given word correctly. The noun FUNCTION refers to the purpose of a person or thing; (i) uses this word to convey how the purpose of a seismograph is to record the motion of the ground during an earthquake. The verb FUNCTION means to operate; (ii) uses this word to convey how, despite the power cut, the medical equipment continued to operate properly. Thus, B is the right answer. (iii) is incorrect because it confuses the word FUNCTION with FACTION (a small group of people within a larger one) to convey that one part of the community supported the new policy whereas the other part did not.
