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. OBFUSCATE (i) The lawyer’s attempt to obfuscate the facts only made the case more confusing for the jury. (ii) The bright lights and loud music seemed to obfuscate his thinking, making him forget the plan. (iii) He would never obfuscate the truth, always speaking with complete transparency.Solution
“Obfuscate” means to deliberately make something unclear or difficult to understand. Sentence i is the correct usage, as the lawyer intentionally muddled the facts. Sentence ii implies confusion but doesn’t use “obfuscate” in a deliberate context. Sentence iii contradicts the meaning, as “obfuscate” implies hiding the truth, not speaking transparently. Therefore, option 1 is correct.
