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

i correctly uses pelting as a verb meaning throwing something, like stones, with force. In ii, pelting doesnt fit grammatically here, as it doesnt make sense in the context of a decade together. It seems to be a misuse of the word. In iii, pelting is not the appropriate word here. The sentence should likely use wasting or spending, not pelting. Hence, only sentence i uses pelting correctly. Therefore, the answer is B Only i

A Only iii

B Only i

C Both i & ii

D Both i & iii

E None of these
