Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
Whatever the verdict of history may be, Chaplin will occupy a unique place in its pages.

• A. prediction
• B. outcome
• C. judgement
• D. voice

Answer 1

The correct option is C judgement

Option C: 'Verdict' means 'a decision on an issue of fact in court'.

'Judgement' means 'a decision of a law court or judge'.

This word means the same as the given italicized word. Hence option C is correct.

Option A: 'Prediction' means 'a statement about what you think will happen in the future'.

Option B: 'Outcome' means 'the way a thing turns out, consequence'.

Option D: 'Voice' means 'a particular opinion or attitude expressed'.

These words do not mean the same as the given word 'verdict'.

So, options A, B and D are wrong.
