Correct Answer: Let off


Solution : The correct option is the second option.

"Let off" means to punish someone lightly, or not at all, and correctly fits in the sentence conveying the intended meaning.

The meanings of other options are as follows:

  • "Let out" means to make a sound or cry.
  • "Let on" means to reveal information or pretend.
  • "Let aside" means putting something aside for the time being.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: The accused was let off as the counsel could not produce the witness.
