Question

Out of the given alternatives, choose the one which can best replace the italicised word in the sentence without changing the meaning of the sentence.
The British levied unusually high taxes on the export of Indian goods.

• A. implemented
• B. stipulated
• C. imposed
• D. enacted

Answer 1

The correct option is C imposed

The highlighted word, in this context, means 'charged'.

Option C is correct. 'Imposed' also means 'charged' in this case. Thus, it is the correct answer.

Options A, B and D are incorrect. They do not have the required meaning.

'Implemented' means 'applied', 'stipulated' means 'specified' and 'enacted' means 'acted on'.
