Question

Choose one word to replace the word in italics.

He was allowed to make an appeal in the High Court.

• A. tolerated
• B. permitted
• C. given orders
• D. forgive

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

permitted

Option B is the correct answer because 'permitted' means to officially allow (someone) to do something.

Options A, C and D are incorrect because 'tolerated' means to accept behavior and beliefs that are different from your own, although you might not agree with or approve of them, 'given orders' means commanded and 'forgive' means stop feeling angry or resentful towards (someone) for an offence, flaw, or mistake.
