Question 84

One of the statements below contains a word used incorrectly. Choose the option which has the incorrect or inappropriate usage of the word.

The word draw can have several meanings depending on context — as a verb, it can mean to pull or drag something, and as a noun, it can refer to a tie in a game or a lottery selection. It might also refer to producing a picture by making lines. 

  • Option A correctly uses “draw” to refer to pulling water from a well.

  • Option B  also appropriately uses “draw" in the context of a lottery draw, indicating a random selection.

  • In Option C, however, “draw” is misused. The sentence refers to a compartment in a cupboard, which should be “drawer,” not “draw.” (Drawer refers to a storage compartment in furniture.)

  • Option D uses “draw” appropriately to describe a tied game in cricket.

Hence, option C is the correct answer in this case.
