A word has been given in the question and used in the sentences below. Identify the statements where the word has been used in a contextually and grammatically correct manner.

The correct answer is Both (I) and (II).

Let us analyze the usage and meaning of the word CROP in each of the given sentences to evaluate their contextual and grammatical correctness:

1. Sentence (I): "Farmers expect a good crop this season due to timely rainfall and favorable weather conditions."
• In this sentence, crop is used as a noun meaning a cultivated plant that is grown as food, especially a grain, fruit, or vegetable.
• Contextually and grammatically, this usage is completely correct.

2. Sentence (II): "You should crop the photograph carefully to remove distractions and focus on the main subject."
• In this sentence, crop is used as a verb meaning to cut off or trim the outer parts of an image or photograph.
• Contextually and grammatically, this usage is completely correct.

3. Sentence (III): "He cropped his friend to attend the meeting without any prior notice."
• In this sentence, using cropped makes no sense contextually. Possible intended words could be forced, urged, or abandoned/left depending on context, but "cropped" is incorrect here.
• Therefore, statement (III) is contextually incorrect.

Thus, the word CROP is used correctly in both statements (I) and (II).
