Question
In the following question, a word has been used in
sentences in THREE different ways. Choose the option corresponding to the sentences in which the usage of the word is CORRECT or APPROPRIATE. CLATTERĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā I) He merely wanted to clatter his authority, so the others would follow his lead. II) No one spoke and the only sounds heard were theĀ clatter Ā of knives and the munching of the lieutenant. III) These are the measures the government has adopted to clatter order and relieve your condition.Solution
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.
