You need to see which of the sentence(s) has/have correctly used the given word and mark your answers accordingly.Solution
NEFARIOUS: wicked or criminal; morally bad. The word 'nefarious' is used correctly in statement I; it is used as an adjective to describe the noun 'deed' as criminal/morally bad. The use of 'nefarious' in statement II is incorrect; the ability to swim naturally in the water makes the person 'amphibious' (ability to operate on land and in water), which should replace 'nefarious' in the sentence. The word 'nefarious' is used correctly in statement III to modify the noun 'April Fool's Day pranks' as wicked.
