Question
In the following questions, 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 has/have correctly used the given word and mark your answer accordingly. Sanction I. Yet it is unclear whether the restrictions Google has sanction on Huawei will be long-lasting. II. But the company was caught clean violating trade sanctions and then failed to comply with the terms of its own punishment, leading to a severe but somewhat less controversial response from the US. III. Scientists have put together a map of the UK's wasp sanction , showing the distribution of key species.Solution
(e) Sanction(noun)- a threatened penalty for disobeying a law or rule. Sanction(verb)- impose a sanction or penalty on. Only II has used the word correctly (as a noun). The correct word in the first sentence would have been 'imposed' as a verb is required at that place. The correct word in the third sentence would have been 'population'; 'sanction' doesn't make any sense there. Option E is the correct answer.
