Question

While the Supreme Court has ________________________ the detention of the accused in jail, their house arrest is only a limited ________________________. The truth is that the accused will have to face a never-ending oppressive ________________________ process which, once initiated, consumes life and is destructive of one’s pride and dignity.

(i) disdain  (ii) legitimate  (iii) interdicted  (iv) consolation  (v) prosecutorial  (vi) suppressed

Choose the correct set of words to fill the blanks.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The first blank requires a word meaning to forbid or prohibit something. Among the options, **"interdicted"** fits perfectly as it means to prohibit or forbid.

2. The second blank describes a limited form of relief or comfort. The word **"consolation"** means comfort received after a loss or disappointment, making it the suitable choice.

3. The third blank relates to a legal process involving charges against someone. **"Prosecutorial"** pertains to the institution and conduct of legal proceedings, which fits the context well.

4. Other options do not fit the context:
   - **Disdain** means feeling that something is unworthy of respect.
   - **Legitimate** means lawful or conforming to rules.
   - **Suppressed** means forcibly ended.

Hence, the correct sequence is **interdicted, consolation, prosecutorial**, which corresponds to option (d).

**Answer:** (d) iii, iv, v
