Question
In the given 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 sentences have correctly used the highlighted word, and mark that as your answer. Function (i) The function of a seismograph is to record the motion of the ground during an earthquake. (ii) The medical equipment continued to function properly, despite the power cut. (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.
