There are four sentences S1, S2, S3, S4 where the underlined word is used either correctly or incorrectly. Choose the option which lists the sentences, where the underlined word is used correctly.
S1. Only 22% of the people voted. The rest were totally disinterested.
S2. The management and the union asked a completely disinterested party to mediate between them.
S3. I don’t know why he didn’t go to the exhibition. Perhaps he was too busy or just disinterested.
S4. France’s intervention in the dispute was not entirely disinterested. It gave her increased power and influence in the area.
'disinterested' here means 'not interested' in an unbiased manner. So we have to identify sentences where the context meaning is unbiased.
In sentence 2, the third party mediate will be disinterested.
In sentence 4, the author wants to highlight the point that France’s intervention in the dispute was not entirely disinterested. I.e. this is also a correct option choice.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
