Question : Directions: In the following question, a sentence is given with a blank that is to be filled in with an appropriate word. Four alternatives are suggested; choose the correct alternative out of them as your answer.
The chairman ________ the company's funds, so he was dismissed.
Option 1: pirated
Option 2: misplaced
Option 3: misappropriated
Option 4: enticed
Correct Answer: misappropriated
Solution : The third option is the correct choice.
Misappropriated means to use funds inappropriately for another purpose other than the intended one, which fits perfectly in the sentence.
The meanings of the other options are:
- Pirated means illegal duplication and copyright infringement.
- Misplaced means to lose something.
- Enticed means to persuade someone through appealing means, all of which don't fit contextually.
Therefore, the complete sentence is: "The chairman misappropriated the company's funds, so he was dismissed."
