    in sentences in THREE different ways. Choose the option corresponding to the sentences in which the usage of the word is CORRECT or APPROPRIATE.

    C Both i and iii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both ii and iii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sentence (i): "Grace" is used as a noun meaning elegance or courteous good will.
    Sentence (ii): "Grace" is improperly used as a verb here. One does not “grace a law into effect.” The correct verb would be “enforce” or “implement.”
    Sentence (iii): "Grace" is used as a verb meaning to honor or lend distinction to an event by one's presence.
