"Egregious" means outstandingly bad or shocking, usually referring to something conspicuously offensive or wrong. It’s used to describe actions that are particularly bad, severe, or flagrant. I and III are correct : ·        (I) correctly uses "egregious" to describe a serious violation of safety regulations. The company’s action is so bad that it’s easily recognizable as a major mistake or wrongdoing. ·        (III) correctly uses "egregious" to describe offensive remarks made by a politician, which provoke significant backlash. The remarks are so extreme and inappropriate that they spark a nationwide debate. II is incorrect : ·     (II) incorrectly uses "egregious" to describe "kindness," which is a positive trait. The word "egregious" refers to something bad or harmful, not something positive like kindness. Therefore, it’s a misapplication of the word.
