sentences in THREE different ways. Choose the option corresponding to the sentences in which the usage of the word is CORRECT or APPROPRIATE. PERNICIOUS i) The pernicious effects of smoking are well-documented in medical literature. Â ii) His pernicious behavior at the party made everyone uncomfortable. Â Â iii) The pernicious illness left the patient bedridden for weeks.Solution
“Pernicious” means harmful in a gradual or subtle way. Sentence i correctly describes the long-term, harmful effects of smoking. Sentence ii seems incorrect because “pernicious” is usually used in a more serious or harmful context, not for everyday discomfort. Sentence iii misuses the word, as “pernicious” generally refers to something insidious, not an immediate illness. Option 1 is correct.
