Question 1 Report

From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences.

 

We do not accept the punishment__________the boy.

Answer Details
The phrase that best completes the sentence "We do not accept the punishment__________the boy." is "meted out to." In this sentence, the verb "meted" means to distribute or impose a punishment. The preposition "out" is used to indicate the distribution of something, in this case the punishment. The preposition "to" is used to indicate the recipient of the punishment. Therefore, the phrase "meted out to" is the most appropriate to complete the sentence, as it correctly expresses the idea of distributing the punishment to the boy. The other phrases in the group do not fit in this context as well as "meted out to."
