Q: Answer-In the following question, a word has been used in sentences in THREE different ways. Choose the opt...

Sentence I is incorrect. The verb clatter refers to making a loud, rattling noise, not asserting authority. The usage in this sentence is wrong as clatter does not mean to assert or demonstrate authority. Sentence II is correct. Clatter is used appropriately here to describe a loud, continuous noise, like the sound of knives. Sentence III is incorrect. Clatter does not mean to impose or establish order. The correct word to use here would be clatter in a different context or a different verb like order or create. Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.

I He merely wanted to clatter his authority, so the others would follow his lead. I
I No one spoke and the only sounds heard were the clatter of knives and the munching of the lieutenant. II
I These are the measures the government has adopted to clatter order and relieve your condition.
