Question

In the following sentence, some words are in bold. Identify the words that are used correctly:

The party, therefore, **ostracised** (1) with students of the various schools destroyed by the **hoodlums** (2), their parents and the community for losing what even though was the responsibilities of the state government but was however **facilitated** (3) by a Senator as his constituency projects.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The word **ostracised** means to exclude someone from a group or society. The phrase "ostracised with students" is incorrect because "ostracised" is not used with "with". A better choice would be "sympathised with" in this context.

2. The word **hoodlums** correctly refers to people who engage in crime and violence, which fits the context of destruction caused to schools.

3. The word **facilitated** means to make an action easier or possible, which is appropriate here as the Senator helped in the project.

Hence, only the words in positions 2 and 3 are used correctly.

**Answer:** Both 2 and 3
