Question

**Pursue**

Identify the sentences where the word *pursue* is used correctly in both context and grammar:

(i) New guidelines will allow students to pursue two degrees simultaneously.

(ii) National awards are usually pursued out of private endowments.

(iii) Scientists should pursue research in the emerging energy sector to ensure a sustainable future.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. In sentence (i), *pursue* is correctly used to mean 'to follow or engage in' two degrees simultaneously, which is appropriate and grammatically correct.

2. Sentence (ii) uses *pursued* incorrectly. National awards are not 'pursued out of private endowments'; the phrase is awkward and does not convey the intended meaning. Typically, awards are 'funded' or 'supported' by endowments, not 'pursued'.

3. Sentence (iii) correctly uses *pursue* in the context of scientists engaging in research, which is both contextually and grammatically accurate.

Therefore, only sentences (i) and (iii) use the word *pursue* correctly.

**Answer:** (b) Both (i) & (iii)
