Question
In each of the following questions, 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. Purport (i) The document purports to explain the company’s new hiring policy.(ii) She made a purport to improve relations between the departments.(iii) The purport of his argument was lost on most of the audience.Solution
i) Correct. "Purport" as a verb means to claim or appear to be something, especially falsely or without proof — “purports to explain” is correctly used.
(ii) Incorrect. "Purport" is not used as a countable noun like “a purport.” The sentence is incorrect in both grammar and usage.
(iii) Correct. "Purport" as a noun means the main or general meaning of something — “the purport of his argument” is correct.
Thus, only (i) and (iii) are correct.
