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 have correctly used the highlighted word, and mark that as your answer. CONTAGIOUS I. Laughter is often contagious, spreading rapidly among a group of people and lifting their spirits. II. The patient’s contagious enthusiasm for the project motivated the entire team to give their best effort. III. The doctor warned that the flu was contagious and advised everyone to take precautions to avoid infection.Solution
In Sentence I, 'contagious' is used correctly in a figurative sense, meaning something that spreads quickly, like laughter. In Sentence II, 'contagious' is incorrectly used. 'Contagious' refers to something that spreads (typically a disease or behavior), but enthusiasm is not typically described as "contagious" in this sense. The more appropriate term would be "infectious." In Sentence III, 'contagious' is used correctly to describe a disease that can spread from person to person. Thus, only Sentences I and III have used the word correctly.
