Question

**Q82.** The minister was ______________ by the authorities for not paying the taxes.

(A) Hounded  
(B) Moved  
(C) Pursued

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Analyze the meanings of the words:
   - **Hounded:** harass, persecute, or pursue relentlessly.
   - **Pursued:** follow or chase.
   - **Moved:** make progress; develop in a particular manner or direction.

2. Contextually, the sentence is about the authorities taking action against the minister for not paying taxes.

3. "Hounded" and "Pursued" fit well as they imply persistent action or chasing by the authorities.

4. "Moved" does not fit contextually as it relates to progress or development, not action by authorities.

**Answer:** (e) Only (A) and (C)
