Question
In each of the following questions, a word has been
given and used in three statements. You are supposed to identify which of the statements/s use/s the word correctly and mark that as your answer. Abstention (I) The company’s sudden abstention from lobbying efforts, after years of aggressive advocacy, raised eyebrows among policy analysts tracking corporate influence. (II) In judicial ethics, a judge’s abstention from hearing a case due to perceived bias isn’t just a courtesy—it's a procedural safeguard against conflicts of interest. (III) While the reform bill passed by a narrow margin, the high rate of abstention among opposition legislators was read as a silent protest rather than political indifference.Solution
Abstention = the act of deliberately refraining from participation — especially in voting, public acts, or institutional decisions. Sentence (I): "Abstention from lobbying efforts" is a strategic, deliberate withholding of influence — not passive, but intentional. Used in a corporate-political context, and fits perfectly. Sentence (II): A judge’s abstention due to bias is a formal and valid legal use. This aligns with judicial conduct codes. The phrasing is precise, and the sentence is grammatically solid. Sentence (III): Abstention" here isn’t just “not voting”; it’s used symbolically. The sentence correctly captures the nuance: not voting as a form of protest.
