Question
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. PERJURE I. The assumption is that he had attained citizenship, either through marriage or through naturalization, and at that point may have been perjured from returning. II. The judge warned the man not to perjure himself when he sensed that he was lying about his part in the crime. III. An arbitrator has power to administer oaths and any person who wilfully and corruptly gives false evidence before him may be prosecuted and punished for perjury .Solution
(a) 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.
