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. CONDUCT I. The scientist was praised for her conduct of the experiment, which yielded groundbreaking results. II. His conduct during the meeting was highly unprofessional and disruptive. III. The metal has a high melting point and is a good conduct of heat and electricity.Solution
Solution Both I and II use the given word correctly. CONDUCT refers to the action or manner of managing an activity or organisation; I uses this word to convey how the scientist managed the experiment. CONDUCT also means the manner in which a person behaves, especially in a particular context; II uses this word to convey how the behaviour of the person was unprofessional. Thus, C is the right answer. III is incorrect, as it confuses CONDUCTOR (a substance or material that allows electricity to flow through it) with CONDUCT. It explains that metal is a good conductor of heat and electricity.
