Question
In the given question, a word has been given and there
are three ways in which the word has been used, in similar or different forms. You need to see which of the sentences have correctly used the highlighted word, and mark that as your answer. Idol 1. She smirked a bit, and clapped her hands once more as she rose from her kneeling position and bowed to the idol. 2. As I usually sat sewing with my sisters and my mother, I often had time for such idol daydreams. 3. He was the champion of the downtrodden, the challenger of injustice, the idol in the making.Solution
IDOL refers to a statue; 1 uses the word to refer to the statue of the god/ goddess in front of whom she bowed. IDOL means a role model; 3 uses this word to refer to how he was a role model to the downtrodden. Thus, (c) is the right answer. 2 is incorrect as it confuses IDLE (avoiding work) with IDOL; the sentence talks about how the author did not have time for daydreams, because she had work to do.
