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.
Both A and C
The question asks us to identify the sentences that correctly use the word "ISSUE" according to its various meanings.
Let's analyze the word "ISSUE" and its usage in each sentence:
Understanding the Word ISSUE
The word "ISSUE" has several meanings in English:
- As a noun, it can refer to a topic, a subject of discussion or debate, or a problem. For example, "climate change is a major issue."
- As a verb, it means to give out, supply, or distribute something officially. For example, "The school will issue new ID cards."
- It can also refer to offspring or descendants, though this is less common in everyday conversation.
- It can also refer to an outflow or discharge, especially from a wound.
Analyzing Sentence A
Sentence A states: "He has taken a public stand on the issue of misuse of hospital funds."
In this sentence, "issue" refers to a topic or a matter of concern and debate ("misuse of hospital funds"). This aligns perfectly with the primary meaning of "issue" as a subject of discussion.
Therefore, Sentence A correctly expresses a meaning of the word "ISSUE".
Analyzing Sentence B
Sentence B states: "She wiped her nose with a issue."
This sentence is grammatically incorrect and does not convey a sensible meaning. Typically, one wipes their nose with a "tissue," not an "issue." The word "issue" cannot be used in this context.
Therefore, Sentence B does not correctly express a meaning of the word "ISSUE".
Analyzing Sentence C
Sentence C states: "The authorities have begun to issue ration cards."
In this sentence, "issue" is used as a verb. It means that the authorities are officially providing or distributing ration cards. This is a common and correct usage of the verb "issue."
Therefore, Sentence C correctly expresses a meaning of the word "ISSUE".
Conclusion on Sentence Correctness
Based on the analysis:
- Sentence A correctly uses "issue" to mean a topic or subject.
- Sentence B uses "issue" incorrectly.
- Sentence C correctly uses "issue" to mean to distribute officially.
Thus, both sentences A and C express valid meanings of the word "ISSUE".
