The question asks to identify the sentence(s) that correctly use the word 'devise'. Let's analyze the meaning of 'devise' and its usage in each sentence.
'Devise' is a verb that means to plan or invent something, typically a complex procedure or mechanism, through careful thought.
Sentence: A. Keep this electronic devise out of reach of children.
In this sentence, the word used is 'devise', but the context suggests the intended word was 'device'.
Therefore, the spelling 'devise' is incorrect for the intended meaning of an electronic object. This sentence does not correctly use the word 'devise'.
Sentence: B. Sam devised a fundraising strategy for the welfare of the childcare foundation's orphan children.
Here, 'devised' is used as a past tense verb.
Thus, Sentence B correctly uses the word 'devise'.
Sentence: C. The terrorists devised a plan to attack the Colaba market during the festive season.
In this sentence, 'devised' is also used as a past tense verb.
Therefore, Sentence C correctly uses the word 'devise'.
