Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

Both (ii) & (iii)

Solution :

The correct answer is Both (ii) & (iii).


Let us analyze the word "Execute" and its usage in each sentence:


Meaning of "Execute":
1. To carry out, perform, or put into effect (a plan, order, task, or course of action).
2. To make a legal document valid by signing or sealing it (e.g., executing a deed, contract, or will).
3. To carry out a sentence of death on a legally condemned person.


Analysis of Sentence (i):
"The budget constraints execute the company from hiring additional employees this year."
Incorrect: Here, "execute" is used incorrectly. The intended word is likely "prevent", "restrict", "hinder", or "preclude" (meaning to stop or constrain someone from doing something). Budget constraints cannot "execute" a company from hiring.


Analysis of Sentence (ii):
"Every day you fail to execute the task, the penalty for failure worsens."
Correct: "Execute" here means to carry out or perform a task. The usage is contextually and grammatically accurate.


Analysis of Sentence (iii):
"A debtor who is not insolvent may also execute a deed in favor of his creditors generally."
Correct: In legal terminology, to "execute a deed" means to formally sign and validate a legal agreement. The usage is appropriate and correct.


Therefore, the word "Execute" is used correctly in statements (ii) and (iii) only.
