Question

Which of the following words is SIMILAR in meaning as the word 'jettison' as used in the passage?

• A. Sacrifice
• B. Accept
• C. Modify
• D. Destroy
• E. Advocate

Answer 1

The correct option is A Sacrifice

'This should go a long way in ensuring that principles of natural justice and fair play are not jettisoned in the appointment process,' is the line under review.
here jettison implies that in the appointment process, fair play is not removed. That everything is done as per rules.

So a similar word is 'Sacrifice', as the sentence will mean that, we do not sacrifice ethics in an appointment.
