Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate choice.
Outside the court they both said they would consider mounting a case against the police for ________ prosecution.

A.

modest

B.

malicious

C.

mundane

D.

munificent

Correct option is B


The correct option is (b) malicious.

Explanation:

  • The phrase used in legal context is malicious prosecution, which means a legal action started with ill will, without reasonable cause, mainly to harass someone.
  • Hence, the adjective malicious correctly fits before prosecution.
  • Example: He filed a suit for malicious prosecution after the false charges were dismissed.

Meanings of other options:

  • (a) Modest: not large; humble. (Hindi meaning: विनम्र / साधारण)
  • (c) Mundane: ordinary; dull. (Hindi meaning: साधारण / नीरस)
  • (d) Munificent: very generous. (Hindi meaning: उदार)

So the correct answer is (b)
