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. ALLURING
I. India was always an alluring factor for overseas humans and no entity was that powerful to drag collapsed economy.
II. India’s elevation in the World Bank’s 2020 ease of doing business index is credible alluring of the country’s passage.
III. They were incredibly alluring , the types of people who inspire devotion and obsession for reasons largely beyond control or reason.
Solution
I uses "alluring" correctly to describe India as being attractive or appealing to overseas humans (though "overseas humans" could be phrased better). III correctly uses "alluring" to describe people who are irresistibly attractive or inspiring intense feelings. II misuses "alluring," as it doesn't fit the context of describing a "credible" factor in business index ranking. "Alluring" typically refers to attraction or appeal, not credibility. Thus, the correct usage is found in I and III.
