Directions: Given below is a word, followed by three sentences that consist of that word.
Identify the sentence(s) that express(es) the meaning of the word.

ISSUE
A. He has taken a public stand on the issue of misuse of hospital funds.
B. She wiped her nose with a issue.
C. The authorities have begun to issue ration cards.

The correct answer is Both A and C.

Let us analyze the meaning of the word "ISSUE" and how it is used in each of the given sentences:

1. Meaning of "ISSUE":
- As a noun: An important topic or problem for debate or discussion (e.g., "social issue", "issue of misuse of funds").
- As a verb: To supply, distribute, or make available officially (e.g., "to issue passports", "to issue ration cards").

2. Sentence Analysis:
- Sentence A: "He has taken a public stand on the issue of misuse of hospital funds."
Here, "issue" is used correctly as a noun referring to an important subject or matter of concern.

- Sentence B: "She wiped her nose with a issue."
Here, "issue" is used incorrectly instead of "tissue" (a soft paper handkerchief). Thus, Sentence B is grammatically and contextually incorrect.

- Sentence C: "The authorities have begun to issue ration cards."
Here, "issue" is used correctly as a verb meaning to officially give out or distribute items (ration cards).

Since the word is used correctly in both Sentence A and Sentence C, the correct choice is Both A and C.
