    B Only 1 & 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only 1 & 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only 2 & 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All 1, 2 & 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    1.       (b) Only (1) and (2) have correctly used the word SENTENCE. In 1, the sentence uses the literal and most common meaning of the word SENTENCE. In 2, SENTENCED is a verb. When a judge sentences someone, he or she states in court what their punishment will be. In 3, the word has been wrongly used because a government issues a STATEMENT to the media and not a SENTENCE. STATEMENT means something that someone says or writes officially. Thus, (b) is the right answer.
