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. Settle 1. Hooke was in demand to settle many of these disputes, due to his competence as a surveyor and his tact as an arbitrator. 2. Starting in the 1700s, French colonists began to settle along the coast and founded New Orleans. 3. Having settled up the software and hardware, I waited a few short moments for the system to get a fix on the GPS satellites.Solution
(b) SETTLE means to resolve; 1 uses this word to convey how Hooke was asked to resolve many of the disputes. SETTLE also means to reside in a place; 2 uses this word to convey how the French colonists began to reside along the coast and founded New Orleans. Thus, (b) is the right answer. 3 is incorrect as it confuses SETTLED with SET; the phrase SET UP means to establish or arrange something; the sentence talks about how the author arranged the hardware and software.
