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. FLAIR I. There was a sudden flair when she threw the petrol onto the fire. II. He even exhibited a flair for handling the crowd scenes particularly well. III. Excessive sweating or being in a humid climate can cause acne to flair up.Solution
(b) The word 'flair' has been correctly used (as a noun) in statement II, where it means 'a special or instinctive aptitude or ability for doing something well'. However, the usage of the word 'flair' in statement I is incorrect as it renders the sentence meaningless; the correct word to be used in the sentence is 'flare', which means 'a sudden increase in the brightness of a fire'. Similarly, the usage of the word 'flair' to form the phrase 'flair up' is incorrect as 'flair up' is a meaningless phrase; the correct word to be used in the sentence is 'flare', which forms the phrase 'flare up', that means 'a situation in which something such as violence, pain, or anger suddenly starts or gets much worse'. Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
