Question
In the given question, a word has been given and there
are three ways in which the word has been used, in similar or different forms. You need to see which of the sentences has/have correctly used the highlighted word, and mark that as your answer. Desert I. Anyone among the young soldiers who are found deserting will be severely punished. II. I ordered a steak for the main course and tiramisu for the desert . III. He declared that soon his country will turn into a complete desert .Solution
1.      (e) 'Desert' as a noun means a barren area of land, especially one with little water or vegetation and as a verb, it means to leave one's duty or post without permission. In statement I, the highlighted word has been used as a verb and in statement III, it has been used as a noun. In statement II, however, no possible meaning does fit in contextually. We can use the word 'dessert' (which means 'the sweet course eaten at the end of a meal') in place of 'desert' in the second statement. Hence, option (e) is the correct answer.
