Question

Choose the word which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
On scrutiny the police officer found out that the documents provided by the landlord were totally fabricated.

• A. historical
• B. genuine
• C. forged
• D. prepared
• E. constructed

Answer 1

The correct option is C forged

Option C: 'Fabricated' means 'produce something false in order to deceive'.

'Forged' means 'make an illegal copy of in order to deceive'.

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

Option A: 'Historical' means 'of or concerning history or past events'.

Option B: 'Genuine' means 'real and exactly what it appears to be'.

Option D: 'Prepared' means 'made ready for use'.

Option E: 'Constructed' means 'build or make something'.

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

So, options A, B, D and E are wrong.
