Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Illegal means that something is against the law or not permitted by law. Illegal is the appropriate word to describe an action that is against the law, which aligns with the context of the sentence.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Illegally implies that something is done in a manner contrary to the law.

  • Legality refers to the quality or state of being by the law.

So, the correct sentence is: While two judges in the majority said the practice was arbitrary and, therefore, unconstitutional, the third judge called it illegal .
