Question
Given below is a word followed by three sentences. You
need to understand whether the sentences used the highlighted word correctly or not. Mark the incorrect sentence with the incorrect word usage as your answer. Convey (I) The letter was able to convey the urgency of the situation, making it clear that immediate action was required. (II) The teacher tried to convey the students with appropriate assignments, but some students were given tasks that were too difficult for their level. (III) They tried to convey the colours of the curtains to the furniture, but it ended up looking mismatched.Solution
"Convey" means to communicate, express, or make something known through words, actions, or representations. Sentence I correctly uses "convey" to mean "communicate" or "make something known" (the urgency of the situation). Sentence II uses "convey" incorrectly. It should be "assign" or "give," as "convey" refers to communicating or transferring information, not giving assignments. Sentence III uses "convey" incorrectly. It should be something like "match" or "align," as "convey" refers to transferring or communicating something, not matching colours to furniture.
