• A. Voucher
• B. Dossier
• C. Affidavit
• D. Document

Answer 1

The correct option is C Affidavit

Option C: 'Affidavit' is 'a written statement confirmed by oath, for use as evidence in court'.

Hence this word substitutes the given words and option C is correct.

Option A: 'Voucher' is 'a small printed piece of paper that entitles a holder to a discount'.

Option B: 'Dossier' is 'a collection of documents about a particular person or event'.

Option D: 'Document' is 'a piece of written or electronic matter that serves as an official record'.

These words do not mean the same as the given group of words. So, it cannot replace them.

Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
