Question 32

A little change or alteration in usage of the article/helping verb may change meaningof a sentence. Below given are the sentences along with their meanings; identify the expressions with thecorrect meaning and choose the right option:
I. The jury was - the members of the jury taken individually
II. The jury were - the members of the jury taken as a whole
III. Dead in sin - great sinner
IV. Dead to sin - free from sin

Solution

Since Jury is a group noun, the usage of the helping verb will be plural and will represent the group identity rather than its members.

Thus, statements A and B are incorrect.

Since dead to sin means free from sin and dead in sin refers to a great sinner, statements C and D are correct.

Thus, the correct answer is D.
