Correct option is A
Correct Answer: A (adhere)
Explanation:
Sentence: Restaurants that don't _______________________to strict health codes can be shutdown.
The sentence describes the relationship between a restaurant and a set of rules (health codes). We need a verb that means "to follow," "to stick to," or "to obey," especially when followed by the preposition "to."
Option Analysis:
- A) adhere
- Meaning: To believe in and follow the practices of; to stick fast to a surface or a plan.
- Hindi: पालन करना / दृढ़ रहना
- Contextual Fit: The phrase "adhere to" is the standard idiomatic expression for following rules, laws, or codes of conduct. If a restaurant does not "adhere to" health codes, it is in violation of the law.
- B) entitled
- Meaning: Believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment.
- Hindi: हकदार
- Contextual Fit: This is an adjective or a past participle. Grammatically, "don't entitled to" is incorrect (it would need to be "are not entitled to"). Furthermore, restaurants aren't "entitled" to codes; they must follow them.
- C) encourage
- Meaning: To give support, confidence, or hope to someone.
- Hindi: प्रोत्साहित करना
- Contextual Fit: While a restaurant might encourage staff to follow rules, the sentence says the restaurant itself must follow the codes. Also, we don't say "encourage to codes."
- D) unite
- Meaning: To come or bring together for a common purpose or action.
- Hindi: एकजुट होना
- Contextual Fit: "Unite to codes" makes no logical sense in this context.
- E) associate
- Meaning: To connect someone or something with something else in one's mind.
- Hindi: जोड़ना / संबद्ध होना
- Contextual Fit: While "associate with" is common, "associate to" is less standard here, and it doesn't convey the necessary meaning of "obeying" the law.
Corrected Sentence:
Restaurants that don't adhere to strict health codes can be shutdown.
